I need to get it right now? when Rabbits will be adults?

If you start looking now then you will be able to find a good supplier and can start mixing in some of the new hay ready for when they grow up.

Can I do hand feed to rabbits when I taming them?

 

[Beebop]

You can offer them food in your hand and yes that may help in taming them as they will see you as a friend who provides them with food! :wink:

 

[Bunny_Beginner]

They are getting bigger though is a 7 weeks old rabbits is not too late to taming them?

 

[Beebop]

It is never to late to tame a rabbit! :wink:

 

[Bunny_Beginner]

even It's adults?

 

[Caz]

I have adopted three adult rabbits from rescues and they have been mostly tamed. One has behavioural problems and will never be cuddly but the other two adults are tame.

hi

Tiny baby rabbits like these aren't usually hard to tame if you can be calm around them - don't scream, laugh loud, move fast or carry them around as this will frighten them - they are still only so young they should be with their mother.

The 5 girls I adopted 2 weeks ago are all adult rabbits - they are not tame but they don't bite - they just want to run away from me and I can not touch them, except for the mother (the gold colour one) But they are starting to like me better because they know I give them food...

So I just feed them and talk to them quietly - I don't try to touch them at all - Now they start to come to touch me and let me very close to them, so they are starting to get tame. You just have to wait a few weeks and be kind to them until they trust you.

My sisther's Rabbit Mimi and my Rabbit Rex knows I am feeding them They can't calm down when I feeding them when they are in a cage is that mean they likes me?

 

[Caz]

If a rabbit is relaxed around you they will lay down with their feet out (the harder it is for them to run away - the more relaxed they are around you). Also they will come up to you for nose-rubs and cuddles if they like you.

As everyone says it just takes a bit of time.

Caz

 

[Bunny_Beginner]

Well...What is Nose-rubs?

 

[Caz]

Rabbits like to be stroked just above their nose towards the eyes. So if you use your fingers to gently stroke from the nose towards the top of their forehead they really love it and will sit still for hours, sometimes they chatter their teeth if they are really enjoying it.

Is Rabbits can be taming like a month?

 

[Beebop]

It depends, it might take longer, you have to wait and keep trying daily to tame them, you cannot rush this :wink:

 

[Beebop]

how long do you spend with them each day?

 

[Bunny_Beginner]

30 mins-1 hour

 

[Bunny_Beginner]

Just in a case Rabbits is much bigger then this now

 

[Beebop]

They should have 2-3 hours a day out of their cage, 30 mins is not long enough. :wink:
