So the 2 older buns, Troy and Talis that I urgently rehomed a few days ago are doing quite well.
This morning I think I had a break through with Talis :thumb: She is certainly the aggressive one out of them both, biting, growling, lunging and running away. Sadly I have had to start wearing thick leather garden gloves to be able to put feed and clean her hutch.
Since i have started wearing the gloves to deal with her it has made me feel a lot more secure and a lot more in control of her nasty out bursts Yes, she was intimidating me and I felt pretty threatened, she's a pretty huge girl and makes my Bo look like a baby, I am pretty sure she could cause some serious damage if your not vigilant with it.
Anyway went to feed them this morning and do other bits for them and as put my hand in to get the bowl to fill it, she lunged! she didn't growl but she did make a another sound which to me sounded like a goose or a duck.
I left my hand in their whilst she continued to attack. I eventually got the bowl and proceeded to fill it and add new hay.
As I turned round after coming out the food shed, she was right behind me! and pretty much followed me back to her hutch.
Whilst she was eating I attempted to touch her and although she did make that noise again, she actually lowered her head for a nose rub!! or at least to submit My heart melted and something just clicked with me and her, I can't explain the feeling other than it felt like a connection. I am so glad I have her!
Deep down I suspect she is wonderful, loving little lady. xx
