If you cannot cradle his rump as you lift him, use the technique for large rabbits. If you don't scoop up and support his rump whenever you pick him up, he may try to kick to get away from you. This can cause his spine to snap. If your rabbit senses fear on your part or feels you may drop him, he may try to escape. Make sure you hold him securely, but don't squeeze him or you could break his bones.
Rabbit ears are very sensitive and easily damaged.
Always support your rabbit's rump with one hand as you lift him and use the other hand to support his upper body. Do not lift a rabbit by the scruff of his neck. He will kick and may break his back.
