So this is my first French Lop and we have had her about a week now. The breeder says she was handled daily by adults and kids, and she seems comfy in her large cage. However she seems very shy, and doesn’t want to come out, only takes some high value treats (like carrot slices) from your hand. Compared to our Dutch bunny who was very curious from day one (we will eventually intro them to each other but want to build a bond w her first).
Should I just wait until she comes out of her own accord into the larger enclosure? Have read everywhere that French Lops are very sociable and friendly, which is the reason we got this breed. I want to make sure we do it all right!
Should we keep handling her daily as she was used to at the breeder, with treats of course? Or just leave her be?
She also shakes her head a lot, ears flopping. heavily. Is this a sign of ear mites or wax already or if it just something French Lops do?
Total noob with this breed and just as the to bond to us well and safely xx
