What If a Baby Rabbit Hates Being Held?
A rabbit that dislikes being picked up is acting on instinct: as prey animals they feel unsafe when lifted off the ground. Build trust slowly with sit-beside sessions, food rewards and gentle touches to the head, back and ears, watching for discomfort and stopping if the rabbit tenses. Keep its space quiet and secure, and if it truly refuses, never force it, since fright causes harmful stress.
Why Do Rabbits Eat Their Own Droppings?
It is normal and harmless for a rabbit to eat its droppings. Rabbits pass hard pellets by day and soft, nutrient-rich cecotropes at night, and eating the soft ones recycles undigested fibre and nutrients, much of it from hay they could not fully break down the first time. The extra fibre also helps prevent diarrhea. Owners need not worry, though sudden diarrhea still calls for better diet, warmth and calm to avoid stress.

Why a Doe Eats Her Kits and How to Prevent It
A doe may eat her kits from thirst after birth, low milk, poor prenatal nutrition, fright, a cannibalistic habit, strange smells, or illness. Prevent it with strong prenatal feeding and warm salted water after kindling, a quiet space, no scent changes or bare-hand handling, and fostering only after masking the kits with the foster doe's milk and urine.
