So shy

Sparkle has always been very shy, but now he is on his own after Twinkle left us :cry: , he is a recluse. If I go in the summerhouse to see him or feed him he runs into the aviary and only comes back in when he knows I m gone. It I so sad as I used to love having the bunnies come running when I opened the doors. He must of felt more confident knowing Twinkle wasn't scared of me :cry:
 
Oh how sad :( sorry to hear about Twinkle. Could you sit in the summerhouse for a while with a book maybe, and try to slowly gain Sparkle's trust on his own terms?
 
He is eating, but waits until I have gone. He can't be a house bunny because I have three cats and allergy prone kids unfortunately.
 
Pickle was a bit like this after Timmy died. It seemed like if it wasn't Timmy then he didn't want anyone near him :( He either hopped away from me or just completely ignored me and didn't even seem to notice me (which seemed far worse).

This is what I did, even if he didn't want me touching him I could be close so he wasn't sat on his own all the time. In time he stopped running away from me, now he runs to the door when I go outside :)
 
Same here with Mini, initially she didn't want any attention but then started getting braver.
