Most rabbits don't like being held. Rabbits are land animals, and unlike cats or other animals they don't climb trees or ever find themselves off the ground, unless they're in the jaws of a predator. Holding rabbits and picking them up can frighten them, especially if they don't know you very well or trust you.

See the related questions below for help taking care of your rabbit so that you don't frighten her, or cause emotional and behavioural problems.

Young rabbits are sensitive to both the scent of a human being, and the applied pressure when handling them. It is possible that one of these two factors could contribute to the unhappiness of the rabbit. It could also be a matter of separation from the adult rabbit, or the temperature of your hands. If changing those factors does not relieve the situation, attempt to feed the rabbit so that is imprints on you as a caregiver.

How do you make her laugh wen she is crying?

You don't unless you don't care how she feels (which is probably why she is crying). Crying is therapeutic, hold her lightly and let her cry for a minute or two. When she's ready, ask her if she wants to talk about it or if there's anything that you can do. If she says no, continue to hold her and wait. Sooner or later she will want to talk if she sees that you're patient. Simple as that. Tickle her.
