Hi
Last week I got a 12 week old lionhead lop called Roo, generally, he seems to be settling in well but I have a few questions.
Each evening I try to hold him so he can become familiar with me and being handled. When I've picked him up, 9 times out of 10 he is really calm. He relaxes his ears and leans his face on me, but he puts up such a fuss beforehand. He always runs away and has stamped his foot once or twice. I don't know what's best for him or whether it's something he likes. Are there any suggestions on what to do?
Also, when I let him out to run around he starts darting sometimes and then returns to moving more slowly. He often does something that looks like binkying and begins jumping, but as he does it so frequently I'm not sure as to whether it's the same. I'm wondering whether it's one of his quirks or it could signify a problem
His breathing is also quite quick and he shakes slightly at times for no apparent reason. Is this normal for a baby?
He is eating and drinking well, appears to be going to the toilet normally also. He doesn't show any major negative signs but I was hoping for some advice
Thanks
