By the ears because they won't scratch you

NEVER EVER pick a rabbit up by the ears. If you do I will guarantee you scratches AND bites because you are HURTING them. And you risk breaking the cartilage in their ears by doing this. You DO grasp the ears and scruff of the neck to control them only. You pick them up with a hand under their hind- quarters to support all of their weight

Can you grab a holland lop by it's fur?

NO! You should never hold a rabbit by it's fur! And you should never hold them by the ears either! You can hold them by the scruff of their neck because it won't hurt them, but you shouldn't hold them by their fur. A Holland Lop is just like any rabbit and shouldn't be held by the fur because it would really hurt them! Your Holland Lop (or any other rabbit for that matter) can be picked up by the scruff of the neck FOR CONTROL ONLY. As you pick them up by the scruff you should immediately support their weight from underneath with your other hand. Dangling a rabbit from the scruff will separate their hide from the sensitive membrane that attaches it to the muscle. A rabbit should be transferred to an under the arm carry position as soon as possible to protect them, you and keep them from getting frightened. (rabbits are afraid of heights.) Ideally you would be able to pick your rabbit up from underneath and transfer to the under arm carry position without pulling on the scruff at all.

How do you fix a rabbit's dislocated leg?

If a rabbit is injured it means it has a lot of pain from where ever it is injured. To pick up a rabbit which has injured legs you MUST not touch their legs. You can pick it up any way just not the legs. I (personally) pick a rabbit up by its waist. By picking it up the way I do it, I am not near its legs.
