A rabbit that jumps up on your knee (even if it is for food only) and loves having her head and cheeks rubbed is a very sociable rabbit! Sounds like she's happy bunny
rabbits rarely like being picked up because it's what predators would do to them, so I doubt you'll ever get her to like that!
Best ways to socialise with a bunny are to lay on the floor and let them come to you for fusses, or use food! Sounds like she responds well to food (typical bunny
) so maybe use the food you already give her to play games with her and get her socialising
my Lilly runs off with big pieces of veg to hide and eat them (I assume she does this just in case I take it back off her :lol
whereas if I break up her veg into small pieces she'll sit with me and eat each little bit and do tricks for her treats! I play with the teach and treat toy with Lilly and she runs over to me when I get it out
she loves her food!
Could you get her a friend? I've found that when I have two bunnies they run around the room and explore together a lot more, Lilly was very shy when her and Harvey first became indoor bunnies and she got more confident seeing his confidence and following him around! It's lovely having two, I'll be fussing one and the other will run over all jealous and want fusses too :lol: I think if she had a partner she might gain some confidence and she'd have some bunny company for when you're not there which might make her more chilled out too
