I just got a one year old bunny and she'll let me pet and rub her but she won't let me pick her up?

Animals, much like humans do, have variances in their personalities, and likes or dislikes. I would simply chalk it up as your particular bunny simply does not like to be picked up. Who knows why?

Who knows why I loathe beets and my wife loves them?

It must have an injury in the under front leg area or in the stomach. Or, it is just shy.

I have a bunny too. It's 2 and a half months old. Bunnies usually like making strong bonds before attempting to build up trust.

You can do so by scratching your bunny's head, they REALLY like that. Sometimes, bunny's can really adopt to you when you scratch it enough. They'll start to jump up when you walk by demanding you to scratch it.

Also, that creates a bigger bond with you and your pet. Another way is to just take it slowly with your bunny. Start by picking her up once a day, or at least attempting to,and if she doesn't like that, try again the next day, and the next, until your bunny is used to handling.

Bunny's are prey animals you know ;), so when they get picked up, they think they are near there death. Just make sure you take it slowly! Hope this helps, Good Luck!

One thing you could try, is corner her and pick her up anyway. But be extremely gentle and let her know that your not going to hurt her. Then hold her for alittle while and show her its ok.Do this every day for a week, and then every other day, and so on.

She will get the hint that you only pick her up to cuddle, and won't freak out.

She is probaly just not used to it yet I have an 8 month old guinea pig he was 2 months old when I got him and he did the same thing try rapping her in a blanket or towel anything soft and comfort her to make her calm.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
