        ok so i dont really like to keep craisin in the cage much. because he had time and space to run around when amy had him so i have been letting him do the same thing. every time hes out though and i put him on my lap or something he digs my pants and my blanket and sometimes he bites too hard and it hurts. how can i stop this? i like to let him out and i dont want to keep him in the cage all day. what about when i want to show him to my friends? i dont want them to think i have a mean bunny.

          Buns dig and bite when they’re upset about something. I know that Dono digs and nips me when he doesn’t want to be held.

              Henri does that when he is on my lap too. Some bunnies just don’t like to be on laps very much at all. He would probably prefer that you just sit on the ground with him and pet him.

                sometimes digging on a lap is your signal that laptime is over, or you’re not petting nearly enough. 

                when does he dig, the whole time? 

                when you stop petting, or when you’ve been petting for awhile?

                next time he starts to dig try putting him down.
