How long...

Does it take roughly for a new bunny to settle in and get used to humans, never mind 2 cats and a dog?

I've had Buster for 2 1/2 weeks, I've never had a bun before, so I'm unsure how long it will take to win him over. He comes running for his food, and isn't too bad when I pick him up, but still seems quite scared of me. When I let him out he seems quite happy running about the living room, and does climb over me but always seems nervous.

Do I just keep tempting him with food? Don't get me wrong I know I'll not get cuddles from him, but I don't want him being scared of me
 
i think just perservering(sp?) getting them use to you loads of attention a treat every time they let you stroke them or pick them up like flat leaf parsley (2large packs for £1.50 in morrisons at the moment!). Not leaning over them like children bend down to their level so they wont see u as a threat 9like an eagle or bird of prey). Just patience as take that say! :lol:
 
def patience!

I got mine last august - first time rabbit owner too. I have seen progress nearly every week/month, and even now they're still being more and more friendly all the time. its so rewarding and they're more and more cheeky everyday. :lol:
