Kits bodies tense up when trying to pose

[Tristen23]

Are there any tricks to "untense" them? It is difficult to give them a fair evaluation if they don't pose properly. I have been handling them since birth but lately, they won't budge to pose. Tips?

Edit: They are about 4 months old.

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't paying attention. Which breed are we talking about?

They are mini rex.

Anyone? :/

They simply refuse to pose and tighten when I try to pose them properly. Is there a way to ease them up a bit?

Practice is the only thing I can suggest. Rabbits have stages they go through just like humans.

Juniors do this a lot and it's not really easy to get around. We pinch (not really pinch, much more gentle) where they are tensing (usually the shoulder area, making it look like they peak in the wrong area) and wiggle them around a little bit. Sometimes nothing helps, though, they just tense. My best suggestion would be to pose them and take your hand off and evaluate them like that initially. You can tell a lot from a natural pose.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
