Hello, I'm a pet care expert with years of experience in handling and caring for small animals, including bunnies. When it comes to picking up a bunny, it's important to do so in a way that is safe and comfortable for the animal. Here's the correct way to do it:
1. Approach the bunny calmly and speak to it in a gentle voice to let it know you're there.
2. Allow the bunny to sniff your hand and become accustomed to your presence.
3. Once the bunny is comfortable, place one hand under the bunny's chest, just behind the front legs. This is the most important part because it supports the bunny's chest and head.
4. With the other hand, gently scoop up the bunny's hind legs and bottom. Make sure you're supporting the bunny's weight.
5. Lift the bunny up slowly and securely, keeping it close to your body. Bunnies should never be picked up by the ears, as this can cause injury.
