I have noticed he was cowering but yet,he nudged me to show him love.I don't know if he is cowering because,his pen is pretty small,(Well,his den part of the hutch is),so maybe he just was sitting there because of little space?
But still,everytime I went into his hutch fencing part,he would run.But,I have been hand feeding him,and brushing him.He is now my freind again,but im scared to pick him up.
How big is this area that he's in? If you are talking about walking in while he's on the ground - well, have you ever thought about how big you look to him? It is normal for a rabbit to be afraid of anything that towers over him.
Most rabbits HATE being picked up. It is one of their most basic fears. Mother rabbits don't pick their babies up; the only thing that would pick up a rabbit in the wild is something that would eat it. With the right kind of handling, most rabbits can learn to put up with being picked up, but few really enjoy it.
If you
have to pick him up, don't drag him to you, scoop him up quickly but gently. You need to hold him close to you, with his feet and back supported, so he feels secure. If I have a rabbit that is being really wiggly, I carry it on its back, cradled like a baby - they usually just relax and don't struggle like that. If they are calm enough right side up, I carry them that way.
The times when you are most likely to get all scratched up are when you pick a rabbit up, and when you go to put it back in the cage. Many rabbits will start struggling when they see their cage - it's "home," and they want to get back there as fast as possible. If you are carrying the rabbit on its back, you can tuck the rabbit's head under your arm, so it can't see the cage before you get it there. Get as close to the door as you can, and smoothly roll or flip the rabbit onto its feet inside the cage - with practice, you can learn to do this fast enough that you have your hands out of the way before the rabbit has time to struggle. If you are carrying the rabbit right side up, you approach the cage with the rabbit facing away from the cage. Once again, you can tuck the rabbit's head under your arm so he can't see where he's going. Put the rabbit into the cage tail first, and release - once again, he's there and your arms are out of the way before he has time to get all wiggly.
