Young Bun
Hey it's me again.
I've got 2 questions.One of them is more like a....curious question.
Q1) Whats the best way to ease a rabbit when holding?
Okay so Luna has settled in great, she gets on great with Jaspar, loves being pet and having attention in general. (I want to point out that she is NOT spayed,she will be once I get enough money to do so). The issue here is holding. Now I know that rabbits or at least the majority of them don't like being picked up since they're prey animals, and I don't plan on using either one of my buns as a teddy bear,but she is a nightmare.I only need to pick her up for when she's going to the vets but she wont have it. I've tried their recommendations I.E put a blanket over them and wrap them up like a burrito, hold close to your chest, give her treat/stroke her when shes being held but none of them are working. She squeals so much and scratches and sometimes to the point, if I do have her,she shows her teeth. Again, I don't want to cuddle them and such since they're not that type of animal but does anyone have any suggestions that could possibly calm her down or any easier ways of holding?
Q2) Whenever I give Jaspar a banana, his butt twitches. I only give them a banana once every week or two and its only a small piece.
Is it because he really likes the banana and he's happy and excited about it or is it anything serious? This only happens with a banana and Luna's but does not twitch.
