I know ive posted threads like this before but somedays[not all]it gets me down.For those who dont know,dill is a year old lop who we adopted 3months ago to be a friend for our 2 1/2 year old frenchie Barley.They get on well,their bond growing all the time.They've never had a squabble & as a friend for b he is just perfect.On the other hand our bond with him has only improved a little.He will jump on us & come to be fed but hates being stroked.All our buns in the past have been from a petshop[never again]or breeder so have always been only a few weeks old.I dont know whether its because he was older[with a past]that he dosn't want to be friends with us,or whether its cos hes a smaller rabbit[only had french lops the last 10years]or whether its cos hes male[only had does for last 15years].Never had 2rabbits before so was wondering if it could be that we didn't get to know him on his own.The thing is,our buns have always been companion buns who want to come to us,watch TV with us.Im not used to having a bun who just uses us for food etc.B went off us for a while when Dill came but luckily that phase seems to have gone.Even in the garden the other day she would sit in the run the same end i was sat & you could see her physically look for us every now & then.Do you think as long as he has B he will never bond with us?
