only when forced to. they're quite calm once you've picked them up! when Caroline delivered them she just plonked them on her lap and groomed, flipped them over, clipped their nails, not even a kick! when I've picked them up they've immediately calmed down once in my arms. complete opposite of the bunny I had when I was a kid about 15 years ago, once squirmed right over my shoulder and lept to the floor.
it's just the getting on to the lap which gets funny looks!
