I pick them up like a cat.
My first rabbit, we picked it up by the ears until one of it's ears wouldn't stand up on its own anymore ,leading us to believe that being told it was the normal way to handle them was not so .
I guess if you only raise them to eat ,it doesn't matter if it damages their ears ,
But if you actually care about how it should be treated ,I would advise against it .
My rabbit was not the only one with an ear that would just hang there ,
After I dislocated something in my rabbits eat ,we noticed a lot of rabbits the same way ..
I don't handle them that way anymore .

@SW-User you'll be fine .so was the rabbit ,it just couldn't raise one ear .
But it lived a long and healthy life otherwise .
We didn't raise them to eat .
It was intended as a pet ..
I still wish I hadn't believed that was the way to handle them ,,he looked kind of dorkey unable to lift both ears.
My kids still loved him .
I quit picking up rabbits that way .
