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.

Is it mean to pick a cat up by its scruff?
The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine. When picking up a cat, always support the back-end with one hand, and under the front legs with the other. This distributes the weight of the cat evenly and allows the cat to be comfortable. BTW-If your cat has a collar on, take it off before you pick it up by its scruff. You might tighten it by accident. If your cat has a small scruff, don't pick it up. If a cat is overweight or has arthritis, don't pick it up. Don't swing it back and forth, and put it down gently. Just saying, otherwise you'll hurt it.
