When handling a rabbit, grasp the loose skin over the shoulder and neck region with one hand, and support the hind legs against your chest with the other. Not only will this keep you from being bitten or scratched, but it is also necessary to prevent accidental injury to the back and spine of the rabbit. A rabbit that is restrained with its rear legs unsupported can kick and thrust with such force as to actually fracture its spine in the struggle.
