Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone might have some rabbit handling tips they would be happy to share.
This morning I am sporting two large scratches across my chest from being scratched last night, by lovely Buffy (although she's not the only culprit).
I could be doing it all wrong for all I know. It usually happens when I am moving them from hutch to run or if I'm trying to check them over. I always hold them carefully around the back with one hand and supporting them underneath and close to my chest (hence the scratches).
It's that moment when you start to move them away from you to put them back down, but they start flailing around and you end up getting kicked / scratched. Sometimes they will freak out when I'm just holding them.
I guess I could use a towel or gloves, but I don't feel like I can get such a safe grip on them as without.
Thanks in advance x
