Hi there
We recently purchased 2 baby rabbits. We have had them since Christmas and they’ve are 14 weeks old. The male has recently been spayed and the female is going in a couple of weeks
They hate been picked up and will bolt as soon as you try, the breeder we bought them off said to handle them everyday which we have tried to do but I’ve read off other forums not to as they won’t bond with you
The male particular seems to go in the huff after you try them will come round again in a couple of days but next time you try he just seems really jumpy again
They seem to have settled well in the house and will seem really relaxed on certain days, but then as soon as you try to pick up again it’s back to square one
Do i preservere or just leave them to get them to bond quicker ??
