I'm so impressed with my little silver lady today!
Here's the thing....normally when I go in to see to Iris and Sylvie they run and hide in the "warren" they created around their box with hay! :roll:
I've now decided I've spent enough time going in and talking to them and letting them get to know me......so now I'm moving on to handling time! :shock: normally if I get near Sylvie she will thump and lunge with a grunt! today I managed to catch her quickly and hold her.......she did not struggle or fuss and seemed quite relaxed (or as relaxed as a nervous rabbit can be) in my arms having nose rubs
When I put her down I thought she would run and thump......she didn't :shock: she stayed out watching me as I cleaned the litter trays:thumb:
Then.....and this is the break through more so than anything! I attempted to touch her, she stayed there and let me rub her nose :shock::shock::shock:
......
No thumping
No lunging
No grunting :thumb::thumb:
So proud of her
Little Iris trembles when I hold her what did these rabbits go through before they came here
