I have 2 large rabbits. Don't know what kind they are - that's not really something I'm concerned about. One is so black he's almost blue and the other is varying shades of brown. They are not pets so they are not tame. They are nice and calm but their not "babies" kwim? So it's not like they'll just crawl into my arms. I do not need to pick them up often but occasionally the need does arise.
What is the proper way to pick up a very large rabbit - that does not want to be picked up - without hurting it?
Also, (feel totally stupid for needing to ask this) but when they mate, do the females sometimes try to "hump" the males? I know how to sex them and we checked before purchase that I did in fact have one male and one female. But when they were put together for mating, the female tried several times to mount the male. Is this normal or do you think we made a mistake when we judged her a female?
Thanks in advance for putting up with my newbie questions.
