Question
My two flop eared rabbits are really scared of people and me how do i get them to let me hold them with out them scratching me and attempting to bite me?

Answer
Hi Kenzie,

Time and a lot of patience will be needed to bring these rabbits round.

What sex are they?

Try wrapping them in a towel, and holding them for a few minutes

Ideally pick the bun up and give it a tasty treat then put him or her down and give another tasty treat, this will help enforce the belief that being held is nothing to be scared of.

Hopefully this will help you, please come back if you need anymore help or advice
