I would just sit with him and let him approach you for a while without any petting on your part. Maybe after a day or two, hold a piece of his favorite treat and let him take it from your hands, but don’t pet him. I think after doing this for a little while he’ll realize you’re not going to chase him down and retrain him. My bun gets mad at me when I try to pick him up, but he generally gets over it in less than a day.

Try to take a nap on the floor. He’ll make sure that you don’t sleep and thereby will have his revenge while climbing all over you. That usually does it for my netherland dwarf. Unfortunately, he’s adopted Maryann’s habit of nipping my socked feet.
