Hi forum buddies,
I'm at the end of my tether writing this so reaching out before I give up my bunnies. I feel so awful but we are just not getting on. I got them from a rescue centre who said they needed to be held a lot to make them friendly but they seemed so scared I didn't want to freak them out by picking them up.
I got them each a big cage- those dog transporters, make sure they are out to run around at least 6 hours a day, got them toys brought them fresh herbs and veggies, left them with the radio when I'm out so they're not lonely- and still three months on they're so hostile. They come out to eat, won't be touched even stroked at all. If I try they give me the foot flick and run under the sofa.
I've tried so hard to make them comfortable and happy but Im not really enjoying looking after two pets that seem to hate me. I read all your posts and you have such great relationships with your rabbits I feel so confused why mine is so bleak! I envy you!
So I think I'm going to have to rehome them. But before I do, is there anyone out there who has been through the same and turned a corner. I love them so much but it's breaking my heart they seem to hate me!
Thanks! Help! X
