Hi all
I bought Quinn my Dwarf Lop baby a couple of weeks ago now, he lives outside in his hutch and seems to have settled in well, hes just had his Myxo vaccine and he was a little angel at the vets......
He doesnt usually like being caught in his hutch, which i understand as i know rabbits dont like being picked up, although hes great once you get him in the house and in his pen he is really easy to pick up.
So, after going to the vets where i saw how he picked up the rabbit ive been a bit more confident and more willing to get him out even when hes hiding in the corner, is that ok? Obviously if i think hes getting stressed i stop and leaving him, but since watching the vet and getting more confidence ive been catching him quicker.
Also what is the best way to make him less jumpy,hes fine on your lap but can still sometimes be quite jumpy, is it just a matter if time and him getting used to us? we have only had him for 2 weeks after all
