Tip of the Week: "Hypnotizing" Your Rabbit
Often a bunny can be "hypnotized" by cradling him on his back in your arms or across your lap, tipping the head backwards and repeatedly stroking from the bridge of his nose to his ears until he's "out." It's helpful to do this when cleaning bunny's sensitive areas, like the face. feet, or under the tail. If the hind feet seem to be vibrating, touching them will stop it. -from rabbit.org
