It's only since I've been on here today that I've started to question anything that my bunny does.. LOL!
But now reading about other people's has really got me thinking.
I love him to bits I really do, and as I've said in my other post, I'm bringing him indoors to make sure I'm looking after him as I should be (and the fact it's so so cold outside)
He's always been on his own since I've had him. My (now ex) boyfriend brought him for me two Octobers ago after my Boxer dog was put down in July and I was really pining for something. I'm an only child you see and had animals all my life. My mum rescued a little yorkie cross a couple of months after our Boxer had gone (I've nicknamed her Ratfink - she's so tiny!) and I didn't bond with her at all. Hence Bramble (my bunny). There was never any question of him buying me two, so it's just been him.
Now he's never been particularly affectionate, maybe because I'd never had a rabbit before and wasn't doing all the things I should be, or maybe because that's just him.
He bonded well with the dog thou until they stopped mixing (my other post) because we rescued another who's not as bunny friendly as I hoped.
He's been circumcised, he had to be, as he went through the "teen" stage of being rebellious and nibbling everything, but now he's really placid.
But he's still really distant, if that's the right word, with me. He'll sit on my lap if I put him there, but he'll get bored and hop off somewhere. He doesn't come up to me when he's out and trying to catch him to put him back is a complete nightmare!
Could he be possibly craving another little bunny friend? Or what can I do to make him more fond of me?
Thanks for any advice!
