Hello bunny lovers!
Firstly I'd like to express my delight that you exist. This forum is full of great advice.
My question is about if I'm making my bunnies happy. I have two 9 week dwarf lops from a rescue centre. I brought them home six days ago and installed them in my bedroom which is about 6m x5m they have a big cage on the ground.
On day one I let them out of the cage to explore their surroundings. They were nervous at first but bth the evening were binkying and could be picked up, a little wriggle at first but they calmed and lay out on my lap.
But since then we seem to be moving backwards. They will both eat out of my hand but won't be picked up at all without twisting dangerously and have stopped binkying. The girl has also started peeing on my bed.
I'm worried I might not be bonding with them or worse, that they are more unhappy than they were on day one
Does this sound familiar behaviour? Any advice you have on how I can improve things for them would best gratefully welcomed.
Many thanks
Charlie
