  I know you will say that no bunnies like being held, some just tolerate it. If I hold Lily in a specific way, she will purr and lick my hand. I looked up a video of a bunny purring to make sure that’s what that was

  It’s not common, that’s for sure. But there are a few cases where the bunny appears to enjoy it.
  
  My boys tolerate being held, but I get “told off” the second I put them down. The only time they seem to want to be held is when they want me to protect them from the vet. And that isn’t even every time they’re at the vet!

  Not sure if he actually “enjoyed” it but Bindi used to be very tolerant of me picking him up. I miss having a bunny to hug. Because Elara HATES being picked up. Never had such a difficult bunny before.

  Magpie loves being held! She jumps into my arms she loves it so much, but Fitzie doesn’t really like it, but that’s ok. Magpie also kisses! She must be Magpie’s secret sissy

  I can’t even pick Buttercup up lol Peanut tolerates it to some degree (meaning, once I’ve got him in my arms and am holding him securely) He doesn’t like it though.
  
  You’re very lucky Cocoa.
