Your baby rabbit may struggle when picked up the first few times. If this happens, hold it firmly but
gently against your chest and soothe it by gently stroking and speaking to it in soothing tones.
The secret of holding rabbits is to hold them firmly with one hand under the rump so your rabbit will
feel secure.
NEVER pick up a rabbit by the ears. As well as being cruel this can damage the muscles and
membranes in the ears.
