To calm a frightened rabbit, you can try the following steps:
-
Speak softly and move slowly to avoid startling the rabbit further.
-
Offer the rabbit a treat or favorite food to help distract and comfort it.
-
Create a quiet, safe space for the rabbit to retreat to, such as a cozy hiding spot in its enclosure.
-
Gently stroke or pet the rabbit if it is comfortable with human touch, but be cautious and respectful of its boundaries.
-
Provide a familiar scent, such as a piece of cloth with your scent on it, to help reassure the rabbit. Remember to be patient and understanding, as it may take some time for the rabbit to feel calm and secure again.
