I've got 2 rabbits (Charlie 8 months and Lola 6 months - both have been neutered/spayed) Both live in a large hutch in the shed and when we are at home we bring them in to run around the lounge as they are both litter trained.
We had Charlie first, Charlie is fantastic, he is really tame and affectionate and when its time to go back to the hutch he'll let us take him in.
then we got Lola. They get on great with eachother. However with us she is really timid. When we try to catch her (especially when we want to put her in her cage) she runs off and hides anywhere. It sometimes takes us over an hour to get her. When we do catch her we just have to suddenly grab her (by putting 2 hands on her back) and after a couple of seconds she stops kicking.
I dont want her to associate us with trying to catch her all the time. Plus i'm worried about hurting her by picking her up this way.
We've tried everything, any suggestions??
