As you said, the vast majority of bunnies simply do not like being picked up or held. This doesn’t mean they can’t come to tolerate it though. You can work on getting her more used to being handled, but you may need to be more firm about it. When you grab her, you have to do it with confidence. Otherwise, she will find ways to avoid being picked up. Obviously, you still want to take baby steps. Start by holding her very briefly and rewarding her each time. Treats can go a long way in this.
