OK I'll try to explain this the best I can.
One of my buns Flopsy has never been quite right. She's 2 years old now, we've had her since she was 8 weeks old and she was bonded with Moonshine the same day we got her.
We did all the same things we did with Moonshine to gain trust, like sitting on the floor with her, hand feeding etc. but she's always been skittish.
She only lets my son stroke her, if I try, the second I touch her she runs off. She always seems startled by my presence and I've no chance of picking her up. My hubby manages to pick her up but she usually takes a bit of chasing first.
Her behaviour has led me to the conclusion that she's either got problems with her eyesight or her hearing which is why she is so startled and nervous all the time.
Any ideas?
