Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and recently adopted a beautiful Lionhead lop rabbit from Pets at home - her old family no longer wanted her. She was quite moody at first and has taken a while to settle in. She is very scared of being picked up so I have stopped carrying her to her run on the grass and have bought a playpen that goes at the front of her cage so that I don;t need to pick her up. She has become much more friendly. I go and sit in the playpen and she allows me to stroke her. I keep trying to pick her up every so often but she is having none of it and I know that it takes time to build up her confidence!
I've had her 4 weeks now and have her booked in at the V E T so that she can be checked over and have her injections. The thing is I am worried about taking her as I know she is going to hate it. I have bought a animal carrier that she has been playing inside this week so that she gets used to it. Have you any more tips on making it as a more positive experience? I feel that she has come a long way since I have got her......
Thanks
