I'v owned a few scratchy rabbits. The only way I found that holding them worked was to put one arm under its front feet and its butt up against your chest and hold the back feet together with your other hand and also use that arm to support its butt. I hope you can understand that. I'm really back at trying to explain things like that.

That normally works pretty well because they mainly scratch with their back feet. But if yours is a front foot scratcher that might not help.

Really the only other option is gloves that cover your forearms. I had one really nasty red velvet lop that you had to use gloves to pick up. Was fine being petted but wanted nothing to do with being picked up. The only reason we ever really picked her up was to clean her cage.
