He has always been a nervous bunny- not very unusual, I know- but he doesn’t do any other strange grooming . He just seems to take the excess nail off, and go on to the next. I just think its so sttange!

Lol Sarah- very true! I dread having to file his nails- he is so pathetic, the way he sniffles so frantically. The other bunny I had that hated being handled- Nelli- didn’t make me feel as bad. She would fight and kick and bite and snort, so by the time I was done clipping her nails, I had very little sympathy left for her- probably because my clothes were usually ripped and I was bleeding from various wounds ?.
Little Lukie tries to get away from me by running into his cardboard houses, which I then pick them up, one by one. Next he goes into his tunnel, until I tip him out of it. As his last ditch escape effort, he jumps in his litter box and huddles in the corner, perhaps hoping I somehow can’t see him. He also seems to roll himself into a ball- he draws his hind legs way up and makes himself as tiny as possible, like a little football. The whole thing is very guilt provoking for me, even though I know it’s necessary.
