About two months ago I bought a female Satin Angora rabbit off of Craigslist. The woman I bought her from had 10 of them (outside) and used them to spin their fur. I had been wanting a rabbit for a few years now and so I bought her a cage and all the necessities and then her!
She was a much larger rabbit than I was expecting (the description said "smallish" and she's even bigger than my cat!) so the cage is a bit small, but I was planning on letting her run around the house during the day and caging her at night, so it was fine.
She was pretty scared and wouldn't leave my side but eventually she got used to it and started exploring (pooping everywhere along the way lol). She's been an awesome rabbit so far, I've got her litter trained and everything with free range of the house but as of late, she's been extremely skittish.
Every time I go to pick her up or even move near her she takes off running. She's an angora so I try to brush her every day if not 4 times a week, but she is getting harder and harder to catch! I can only lure her into the cage at night time with food!
Does anyone have any ideas why she's being this way? And how do I get her to stop?
I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks!
