Handling

Always pick up gently and support their body weight, by scooping up under the chest, and then placing your other hand under the back legs as you lift the bunny off the floor.Ā 

It is important to support the hind quarters when handling, as it is common to get spinal cord injuries that may be permanent or life threatening.Ā 

Do not pick up a rabbit by their ears. It is best to handle them close to the floor so if they jump out of your arms, there is less space to fall and cause injury. Children should always be monitored closely when handling rabbits, and preferably sitting down on the floor.
