Rabbits are ground-dwelling animals. When they are held, they will get frightened. But, if you hold them correctly, they will settle down a bit. They feel secure when you hold their paws (especially the back ones) and not let them dangle.

You dont hold them when they are first born, otherwise the mother or father could eat them. Usually, you should wait for a couple of weeks after theyre born. And also when they are off there mothers milk. Hope this helps

I would imagine that sense a rabbit will live for around 10 years if kept healthy, then so that could be 100 years for a human, so them 1 year of a bunny would be 10 in human years so it your bunny is 1 then it would be around 10 if it is 5 it would be 50 in rabbit years. Ya I know its confusion.

NEVER let the babies and father in a cage together.. he will try to mate the babies and will hurt them (start fighting the males.. I've seen some terrible damage done from housing adult rabbits together.. even littermates once they reach puberty). Rabbits have no sexual boundaries.. a father will breed it's young a mother will breed with her son.. brother and sister will make babies. Never put unneutered rabbits of the opposite sex together unless you want them to mate.

How can you help a male adult rabbit and male baby rabbit to bond?

To have the highest chance of success, both rabbits should be fixed and neutered. Otherwise, unfixed rabbits will usually be too territorial to be able to bond. If your baby rabbit is too young to be neutered, at the minimum, have your adult rabbit neutered. Be warned, that even if you succeed in bonding the baby and and the adult, when the baby reaches sexual maturity, the bond may break.

When do male rabbits become fertile?

Male rabbits can be fertile for sure around 6 months of age. BUT if you have more than one rabbit and do not want to breed (there thousands of unwanted rabbits in rescue centres) then it is advisable to separate them from 9 weeks onwards. Reputable breeders will sell kittens (the correct name for baby rabbits) from 9 weeks onwards and NOT BEFORE. This is because they need their mother's milk and her soft droppings to help with bone density and antibodies.
