Break through with Sylvie!!

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

Awwww.. well done girly!!!

Awww bless them. It is so rewarding when something like that happens isnt it?

I stroked Frosty, Tessie and Daisy last night as they munched on their pellets. I can now stroke all of them (briefly). I love them all so much.

Soooo rewarding!

I didn't think I'd get to that this soon :thumb:

OMG! Squuuuuuueeeeeeeeee!

Well done Sylvie! and well done Kelly! :wave:

Time and patience

Well done on rescuing these bunnies, they really have the chance now to trust humans and be happy.

The little progresses are the most rewarding - I can totally relate to this with Phoebe, so I understand the joy that comes with these little "big" steps.
The progress you're making will help a long way in preparing them for their new home (as I understand you're trying to find one for them now).

I've got lots of hope for these girlies.

Congrats! :wave:

Thanks :thumb: I knew you would get it :wave:

Didn't think it would happen so soon, especially as I broke any circle of trust with the vaccinations on Tuesday :shock:
