Ah i am so concerned Daisy doo will never love me As many of you will remmeber i rescued daisy a year ago next week, from a local pet shop. She was 6mths old and had a litter of 4 kits and was kept in a fish tank on the floor of a pet shop:
The week i had first got her i spent a lot of time with her...and it was clear she wasn't used to humans, nor did she trust us..but she did let me near her after a little while
Anyway...a year on and we are a little better but...she struggles when i pick her up, she won't relax with me, she can't stand the kids though i have tried to introduce them, when she is running around the garden she comes up to the kids and runs round them until they chase her, then she runs off a bit, binkies, and sits and waits for them to catch her up..:shock:
She is a nightmare to get back into her house and will only come in after at least 8hrs play time in her garden, if i try when it has only been 6hrs, to get her in..she won't let me:roll:
Daisy has her dislikes about humans and i respect that. I know she will never be a family bun, well...maybe she will one day but she still has reservations at the moment.
I just wondered what i can do to help her?
I do keep thinking if the kindest thing to do would be to find her a new home because i often wonder if she is happy.
I cant get her a companion as i cant afford a new hutch/run big enough for 2 plus the vaccinations etc..
oh i don't know what to do when she is in season she wants me to cuddle her...other than that she doesnt like me
it doesnt help i am allergic to her!:roll:
