Hi all, I've just been away for 4 days and Obi (my one year old mini lop) went to a rabbit boarding place (when I say rabbit boarding, it's with a lovely family that live locally to me who board rabbits, birds...all little animals) he's been once before and as much I struggle and worry about leaving him I need a holiday now and then....anyway they kindly post pictures on Facebook of your pet so you can see what your pet is up to whilst your away, it's really great and reassuring. However the family take lots of pics of Obi in their arms on their laps, he seems to love a cuddle with them....but he won't and never has let me pick him up! Now I know rabbits hate to be lifted off the ground and I kind of gave up a long time ago (he let me when he was a baby..but that lasted about 2 months) and now I get down to his level for cuddles, but I just can't get over how easily they pick him up, I've been back 2 days and Obi has been home, and I have tried on both days to pick him up just for a little while, he kicks out and just won't have it at all, I worry I might hurt him as he struggles....the only reason I really want to be able to pick him up is occassionally I need to get him into his travel basket to take him the vets, or give him a clean...and I struggle to do either of these things as he makes it quite clear he won't be picked up by me. I don't want to keep trying as he's a Snuffle bunny so I don't want to stress him, but I do find it really upsetting....is it me? Should I give up and accept it??? Sorry for the long post!!!!:wave:
