Hi all,
i am new here and i have just bought my first bunny, shes an 9 week old rex when i was shown her she seemed lovely and calm. once i got her home and let her explore her new home she started to become fearful being handled, the routine is i will sit by her cage and then at times i will reach in and stroke her i will then pick her up which she doesnt seem to mind to much. you can stroke her while in your arms and shes fine but then when you put her back in the cage she gets scared and runs to another corner of the cage. she seems to just sit in the corners now and doesn't look like she is having a good time.
what can i do to get her used to me.
after she is used to me i want to try and get her used to my dogs, as she is going to be an indoor bunny. any tips for that would be greatly appreciated.
regards
Jak
