This baby bunny video is sure to make the playlist. Watch as the tiny baby bunny fits perfectly in the human’s hand. It’s fluffy body is perfectly relaxed. He/she doesn’t have a care in the world. It’s a peacefulness that we all hope to achieve, right?

Did you know there are actually rabbit cafes where guests can surround themselves with bunnies? Amazing. According to Blue Clover Rabbitry, rabbits make ideal therapy pets. They’re cute, snuggly, soft, and relatively calm in the right hands. Therapy sessions are little more than holding a tiny bunny in the palm of your hand.

Rabbits are known for their jumpy, flighty behavior. However, when approached in the right setting and manner, bunnies actually love to be gently caressed and cuddled. They’re not fond of being too far from solid ground or being carried. It’s a security issue. So long as your bunny feels secure in his/her environment, they’ll be happy to give and receive love.

Take a seat on the ground near your rabbit to allow it to come to you. Don’t force the connection. Allow it to progress naturally so that your bunny can feel safe and confident. Bunnies are nervous creatures by nature. Give your bunny space when needed. They’ll let you know when they want and don’t want your attention.

Most rabbits don’t appreciate feeling like they don’t have a place to go if need be, meaning that he/she may try to escape if you suffocate your bunny with too much love too quickly. Take things slow and easy.

Also, be mindful of where you pet your rabbit. Most rabbits like back and forehead strokes, but they get skittish when their vulnerable points are touched by strangers. So, until you and your bunny become very familiar, avoid the dewlap area under their chin, whiskers, stomach, tail, ears, and feet. As you establish a connection, explore where and how your bunny likes to be loved.
