Here are the steps to pet your bunny! I hope you enjoy!
- Walk near the rabbit——-let the bunny know that you are coming so you don’t spook the rabbit. Make kissing noises or speak softly to show the rabbit you are not trying to hurt it.
- Stay low to the ground——-kneel down or even lay down. Being the big humans we are can startle them.
- Let the bunny come to you——-grabbing your rabbit can trigger its natural instincts and bite you. sit down and let the rabbit come to you, patience is key in this step. (being patient is hard, but it is worth it in the end!)
- Show your little rabbit your hand——gently move your hand towards the rabbit at eye level and let the rabbit sniff your hand. You may want to give your rabbit a treat at this point to increase your relationship with your little bunny foo foo!
- Petting your rabbit——make sure it is comfortable and let it approach you. Their favorite places to be touched are their cheeks, forehead, shoulders and back. Do not pet them under their chins because it is an easy way for them to bite you. Do not touch their ears, back pf their neck, hind legs, and tail (bum).
Rabbits are adorable animals, but they are prey animals. Because they are prey animals, if you frighten them on accident they could be afraid of you and others for a couple days even weeks! Rabbits can also hold grudges.
