Sulking

J&R

How long do your buns sulk for after a vet trip?

Fiver went yesterday afternoon and not only is he still not talking to me, he's refusing any food I give him (he's happily eating grass and brambles from the bush but if I cut a piece off for him he refuses it and he won't eat his pellets) he's also hiding from me every time I go outside.

On the plus side he was a very good boy at the vets but how long can he keep the sulk up?
 
It's only Donny and Lola out of mine that sulk. And when I say sulk.. I mean full on cry baby sulks :lol: they usually forget about it after a few hours, but they don't accept anything for ages, no food, treats or anything :lol: just sit on their house and sulk together :lol:
 
Bella only sulks for about 5 minutes. She gets over things like that pretty quickly, and if she seems to still be stressed out you can just bribe her with treats :lol: Boris however, would sulk for hours during which he refused to even look at me :lol:
 
Rosie's joined in now! She didn't even go to the vets but her man is miffed with me so they are putting up a united front :lol:

I think it might be time to break out the fenugreek crunchies
 
My bun will sulk for at least 48 hrs after a vet trip. He is normally seriously affectionate rabbit and spends at least an hour over a day grooming me but after his nail clipping on Mnday afternoon I only got a single token lick if I sat down with him and then he turned his back on me and flicked his feet out in the seriously miffed way they do. Even funnier was if I gave him a crunchie he would carefully take it off me and hold it in his mouth ( unheard of) and wait for me to walk away before he would start to eat it:lol:

Suddenly Wed afternoon we got the usual licky bunny back who was eating everything in front of him.
 
Elsa can sulk all day, she does the same thing - refuses to take treats I've offered her, but eats them if I leave the shed (little does she know I'm watching on the bunny cam :lol: ) Even fenugreek crunchies!!

On the other hand, Elmo goes "yay I'm home!" and is back to normal straight away :)
