Carrying a rabbit by the ears is particularly cruel, causing needless pain as well as damage to the cartilage that supports the ears. Suspension of the body or a violent struggle can lead to vertebral luxation or fracture of the spine or neck.

Carrying by only the scruff, without support of the lower spine and posterior limbs is dangerous. Suspension of the body can lead to vertebral column luxation or fracture at the lumbar level (more specifically, the 7th lumbar vertebra).

 

Kaedah Betul

"On the arm". The lower part of the body is supported by the elbow, while the hand gives support to the front limbs of the rabbit to prevent compression of the chest. The second hand is placed over the shoulders or grasps the loose skin of the neck to enable a good level of control of the rabbit and stop it from attempting to escape.

One hand supports the chest of the rabbit, with fingers resting under its axilla (armpits). To prevent compression of the chest, the front limbs of the rabbit are placed over one hand. The second hand or elbow supports the rabbit's weight and is placed underneath its rump. A rabbit kicking against a hard surface when held may injure or fracture its spine. Hind limbs pointing away from the human's body will reduce struggling by the rabbit and scratching of the human by sharp nails. 

  

A nervous or aggressive rabbit can be lifted and carried by holding it firmly by the scruff — good support of the lower back and hips is essential. The hand will support the rump of the rabbit, with fingers surrounding the buttocks and a thumb placed on the inner side of the hind limb. This way of transport should be used for short distances only.

If this method is chosen, the rabbit's hind legs should point away from the body of the carrying person, or the rabbit may start to struggle and strike with its feet. Kicking against a hard surface while being held increases the risk of spinal fracture.

"Head in the crook of the elbow". Shy rabbits prefer to be carried without seeing their surroundings. Their head can be tucked into the crook of the elbow, while the weight and the lower part of the body are supported by the arm and the hand.

If the rabbit tends to struggle, the hand can be placed between its hind legs to support the rump. In this way the body of the rabbit can be turned sideways slightly, so that the hind legs point outwards.

The second hand is placed over the shoulders. This allows a good level of control of the rabbit, preventing it from attempting to escape.
