For a number of years, I have often picked up rabbits by the "scruff" of the neck like a cat would pick up a kitten.
I don't do it much except when it comes time to process. It seems to be an acceptable way according to the literature, but it causes extensive bruising on the neck/back area and under the skin. I don't really want to do that with my rabbits. Just thought I would pass this along to others that might be unaware.
