How can I calm a scared rabbit?

Answer by  davelang (235)

Give him a carrot! Rabbits love delicious red, little, fresh carrots to munch on when frightened. This will calm him down long enough to scoop up the little critter and take him home.

Also, be careful, rabbits can scare themselves to death. Calming them is very important. Rabbits can also get gut stasis, which is very fatal, when they are in shock. Bring your bunny to the vet if he gets TOO scared. You'll never know, you could save his life!

Give it hay/something nice to eat e.g. carrot/banana/raisins but not too much! Stroke his head and his back slowly. Give him a box with cut out sides if he wants to hide. Having a companion usually helps best! Don't scare him any further.

Place the rabbit in a box with some old clothes, some water and some food where there isn't too much noise it should soon calm down. Don't handle the rabbit too much as this may make it more scared.
