    What!!! Your Q dose not make sense...

    Just a little info for you..... Rabbit Do Not like to be held...

    One of the most common misconceptions people have about rabbits, possibly because they look so much like plush toys, is that they like to be held and cuddled. Many people are disappointed to learn that their bunny does not like to be held. But consider for a moment the natural history of the rabbit. This is a ground-dwelling species, and a prey item for many predators. It is completely against a rabbit's natural tendency to want to be held far above the ground where he cannot control his own motions and activities.

    When you force a bunny to be held against his will, you reinforce his innate notion that you are a predator trying to restrain him. Holding a rabbit while he struggles and kicks is not only dangerous for the human (sharp claws!), but also for the rabbit. A rabbit is built for quick escape, with powerful muscles attached to a relatively light, flexible skeleton. When a bunny is held in the air, he lacks the natural "brake" of the ground against his hind feet, and one powerful kick can hyperextend the spine, causing it to subluxate or fracture.

    Rabbit are prey animal and don't like to be picked up. When you get him out of his cage pick him up and hold him tight to your body then put him down.
