My new bunny Milly is so scared of me that the most contact I have had from her since I got her on sunday is a few nose nudges. If she sees me she legs it.
I do have some experience with nervous buns as Jack was very nervous when I first got him but nowhere near as bad as Milly is. I have managed to turn Jack into a very soppy cuddly bunny so I am going to TRY and do the same with Milly - she is sooo cute and fluffy I'd love to cuddle her!
I thought I would hand feed her most of her food to get her to associate nice food with me. I am also going to talk to her lots close up (or as close as I can get!).
Does anyone else have any other ideas?
Has anyone used clicker training?
Does anything think its unwise to put Jack in another room just for dinner time? (otherwise she eats with Jack despite me holding out food to her!). Jack also has a habit of chasing her off when she ventures near me...not that it happens very often!!
