Gingerbread Man
New Kit
Hey guys,
A bit of advice needed for our new rabbit Simba. She has been with us nearly two weeks now and is settling in very well. She has begun nudging me gently when passing and taking greens from my hand. So I feel she is starting to bond quite well.
However when I try to groom her she gets very grumpy and I don't want to cause her stress and anxiety and ruin the bonding. The only way I can groom her is to pick her up out of her cage. Is this the right way to go about it? Or is there a better less stressful way for her? Last night after I finished grooming her when she moved away she thumped her foot in protest.
As well as this how often should I be grooming her? She is a lionhead rabbit and currently loosing her thick coat since she has come indoors.
Sorry for all the questions, any advice will be very much appreciated
