Young children should never hold rabbits. They can sit beside the rabbit and pet it gently, if they like.

Older, responsible children may hold rabbits once they have been shown how by a knowledgeable adult.

Most rabbits don't like being picked up or handled. If they don't like it, don't do it. However, sometimes it is necessary to handle a rabbit (to protect it from harm, or to administer first aid): if so, be careful! If a rabbit panics and struggles it can easily harm itself (for example, it can break its own back by kicking hard into thin air; it can also easily suffer fractures from being dropped; etc.).

A rabbit should never be picked up by the ears, or just by the scruff of the neck. A rabbit's hind legs should always be well supported.
