So I got 2 sister rabbits 2 years ago and I loved them so much and took great care of them for a long time.
About 10 months ago I started not spending as much time with them and not being a very good caretaker. I would always feed them but usually not play with them.
The only times I held them was when I was taking them out of their cage and maybe sometimes while they were out playing. I would put off cleaning their cage and grooming them.
They just were not getting as much love as they should have. They started not wanting to be held at all, not wanting people to pet them and now they get scared easliy.
About a month and a half ago I realised this was not okay and I needed to do something. So I have started playing with them more and taking better care of them but they just don't like me.
They don't really want to be around me and I know it's my fault but I don't know how to earn their trust back. I have getten to the point were they will let me approach and pet them but if I pick them up they don't like it. Then when I put them down they don't want me to get close to them again. They tolerate me occasionally but they are scared of other people. Please share any ideas. Thanks!
