So I recently fostered 2 sibling bunnies to see if I will adopt them and it's been 6 days. I'm an impatient person but I really need advice PLEASE!
So basically this groomer fostered these bunnies before when they were babies and someone adopted them. Later they divorced and ended up with a rabbit rescue. I then decided to foster them and they've been pretty scared. I've had a bunny back in 5th grade and he was easily tamed and the sweetest boy. Anyways any advice to tame them and to let them know I'm not a threat?
Yes, I've tried everything. I've watched all videos on bonding with rabbits and getting onto their level but they just sniff and go away. They're okay with me feeding them up close but then hides in their hidey house. I let them roam around the house and they sniff me when I lay down but still scared when I pet them even though the old owner claims that they love head rubs and will be all over me when they've bonded with me. I also laid in the cage and let them sniff me for hours but wasn't effective.
Overall, they're still scared when I approach to them and don't really come up to me unless they're hungry and want food. They also don't let me pet
They would just back off slowly... I tried feeding them bananas (they go nuts for it) but eh still the same after. They're both spayed and are potty trained. They're really calm but the female would be shy and scared. TOO EASILY actually. The male would sniff me a lot more and isn't as scared. Any advice would be grateful ..THANKS!
