OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

Hello & Welcome to Binky bunny!
It is so nice of you to have rescued a bunny from being ignored – they are such social animals that he must have been sad there. I have noticed that my bunnies also dig at me, and it is for 2 different reasons. One is when they don’t want to be held, and they are digging as a way to get away. The second reason is when I stop petting their head for a minute and they want me to start petting again! Then they will dig and nip at me until I start giving them some more head pets. Your bun is probably just a bit uncomfortable at being held vertical because he doesn’t feel like he’s secure with all his feet on a sturdy surface, but when he is horizontal he probably feels more “secure” that he is not going to fall.
I’m looking forward to seeing some pics of Mo 
and I’m so happy for him that he has found a great home!
