ZakuraRabbit
Mama Doe
So I adopted Cloud from my neighbours last winter.
He was never very fond of humans, but I was hoping he would come around eventually. This summer he seemed to be improving.
I had him in a large run on the lawn with Zakura, and he actually started coming to me for snacks when I came down to feed them He'd still run when I came into the run with them though.:roll:
But now I've put him inside the shed again as it's getting too cold to keep him outside (rather, when the snow comes their run is going to get completely covered. and I'm not talking about a THIN layer of snow)
Suddenly he's gotten all withdrawn again.
When I come in he just sits in the corner of his hutch, even when I open the door to let them out. Zakura takes the first chance she gets to get out of her cage, he won't come out till I've left the shed. :?
I can pick him up as he's very calm when I do. But to do that I have to reach into the hutch to get him.
Any ideas to make him learn that humans aren't all bad?
I've had him for almost a year now and I've never been mean to him (other than picking him up when he doesn't want to, because I have to get his claws clipped every now and then. Normally I try not to stress him too much).
