New Zealand White Rabbits Q&A

How do you tame a baby rabbit ?

I purchased a 4 month old rabbit from a local breeder.
It is a female (I was told.) It was, up until yesterday, running almost wild outside all the time.
I don't think it is adjusting well to being caged. It drinks and eats, okay. But, when you pick it up , gently, it fights and scratches and bites. If you try to pet it, to try to calm it, it squeals horribly and shakes.
I put it down on the kitchen floor while I cleaned the cage
and it raced away and hide behind the fridge.
Any ideas on how to get it out from behind the fridge ?
The fridge is too heavy for me to move. I tried it.
Any ideas on how to tame the bunny ?
Also, any ideas on a name ?
It is a New Zealand white rabbit.

Yeah your going to want to tame it soon because New Zealands tend to grow quit rapidly once they hit 12 weeks old. If you don't tame it now you'll have a rabbit who is 10-11 pounds who doesn't want to be held! Okay for your question. It's common for rabbits to scratch and wiggle when being held as a baby. All you have to do is keep holding them to show that you aren't going to hurt them. She shouldn't scream unless she's in pain or extremely scared. I don't have any ideas on how to get her from behind your fridge other than trying to push her out. Give her treats of grass, hay, oats, or shredded wheat. Don't give anything else as it will upset her stomach. Once she starts to trust you she will take the treat out of your hand, while she's eating the treat pet her on her head and down her back. Once she is used to this then gradually pick her up more and more each day until you can hold her for an extended amount of time without her trying to get away! Good luck.
