As most of you might know by now I'm a new bunny owner but I'm a quick learner & I've been taking things slow and steady with my new bunny, not pushing him or making him have any physical contact apart from giving him little strokes when he comes near me or my son, & only picking him up if I absolutely have to.
I adopted him on 18 Dec so he's been home about 3 weeks now.
Over the last day I've changed his diet a little to encourage him to eat his caecotrophs so I decided to give Phillip his pellets as a treat instead of a meal... feeding him on my knee or my son's & rewarding him with a few for good behaviour.
Overnight he's changed from a friendly but aloof bunny to one who wants to be on our knees & having lots of strokes & nose rubs - & he even laid down next to my feet last night & right beside my legs on the sofa tonight.
I just can't believe the change in him, it's amazing. I really hope it lasts but I suspect it has a lot to do with his favourite pellets as much as him feeling more settled & secure - but I'm still thrilled & soooo happy @ the change in him, I didn't expect this to happen so quickly
Hope you don't mind me sharing this with you all, I'm just sooo happy

My son -13yo who didn't really like/want a bunny - has admitted tonight that he's changed his mind & is a bunny convert :lol::lol:
