Hiya
I've posted about this before and had lots of good advice so I'm hoping there'll be some more to come.
Since bonding Dizzi and Rascal they've got absolutely no interest in me whatsoever (except as a food source). Before bonding they enjoyed a good fuss (although have never liked being picked up) but now its got to the stage where I can't even stroke/fuss them ..... as soon as my hand gets near them (if it doesn't have food in it), they scarper!!
Its awful not being able to even touch them!!
I don't think they're scared of me as if I go and sit in the aviary with them and if I have food with me, they're all over me and will clamber up my legs/front to get to food ........ they just don't want to know me if I haven't got food in my hand!!
As soon as they've finished whatever treats I have with me - they're totally uninterested in me!!
Any ideas?? Not even being able to fuss my own bunnies is really starting to get to me now.
There must be people out there who've won over uninterested bunnies before???
I've sat in the aviary with them and read a book, totally ignoring them .... they'll come and sit near but if I put my hand out to touch them - they're off!!
I thought they liked nose rubs (well, they used to prior to bonding)!
Can anyone help??
Thanks, Jo
PS/ sorry for the ramble, its just really upsetting me at the mo!
