Hi, I have 3 house buns. They all live separately. One is 9 the other 2 are just over a year old.
I've only ever had boys and never really found them to be as much of a problem as my 1st ever female, Poppy.
I had her since she was 8 weeks old from a shelter who handled her daily. She was ok at first, a little nervous, but I could pick her up and cuddle her which was lovely!
As soon as she hit 'teenager' age she changed dramatically.
I can't touch her or even go near her! Every noise terrifies her! I can't walk past her without her eyes going so wide you can see the whites and she cowers in the corner of her hutch. This makes me so sad to see her like this!
I decided to have her spayed as I hoped it would improve her mood... It made her worse if that was possible! (It worked for all my boys)
Her claws have now got so long I really need to get her to the vet to have them clipped, but she won't let me near her!
I'm sorry this is such a long post, but I really am struggling. I know she will never be a cuddly rabbit but seeing her looking so scared all the time Is making me feel like I am cruel and maybe she would be better off with someone else as I am obviously not making her happy... Please help me
