Wise Old Thumper
Hi guys i dnt normall ask for behaviour advice but i think i need it. Some people i know have 2 rabbits, lovely big hutch, fed correctly, the male is neutured the female is not. but they are both PETRIFIED of anything and everything.
they have had them 2 years, and they awere a eyar old when they adopted them as a pair from a rescue.
They have come to stay with me for boarding whilst their owners are on holiday but i can honestly say ive never experienced anything like them before.
If you open the hutch door they run up and down frantically running into things, when you touch them they grunt loudly, and as soon as u hold them they actually scream. I tried to get them in tonight,and as i opened the lid they went crazy, running up and down, spiing around like they were going to have a heart attack.
I am VERY gentle and quiet with them, it just saddens me that they are this way. They are treated very well, i babysit often at their house and always go and see the bunnies are they have a great life, they are just petrified of anything and everything.
does anyone have any advice to for me to give them?normally for a nervous bunny i say 'sit down in the run dont try to touch them, let them come to you' etc etc but they go CRAZY if you even open the run, so its just not possible.
ive never experienced bunnies like that
