        So I was carrying my 5 month old girl, Sesameball into the bathroom for a nail trimming session. She hates being held, and usually I have a firm grip supporting her so she doesn’t struggle. I must have held her wrong how ever, because she kicked and scratched my bare arms, drawing blood(hence the nail trimming session) so I dropped her completely out of surprise( and pain)! She landed on the tile pretty hard since it was a jerk reaction from me. She seems to be fine, no injuries, but now she hates me! Not scared of me, just that she won’t come when I call her anymore. I’ve tried feeding her treats but she just snatched them out of my hand and goes off to a corner to eat them. What should I do?

          I would consider a vet visit, honestly. A fall from that high up can cause brain problems and internal bleeding.

            Assuming she wasn’t injured, she is probably just displeased with you at the moment. Rabbits are known for holding grudges. The good news is that they tend to get over it after awhile.

            I do agree with Mikey though. It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to have her looked over. Young rabbits can sometimes take a fall like that with no ill effects. However, there is always the risk of injury occurring with something like that simply because of the height. Bunnies don’t always exhibit signs of pain.
