So.. over the past month, my bunnies and I have def gotten closer.
Whenever I walk up to their enclosure, they gather to the wall closest to me and will gladly let me pet them. They've also started running to me when I crinkle their treats bag and will climb all over me when I lay on the ground nearby.
Though whenever I let them free-roam in my room, after doing a couple zoomies and binkies, my Ellie settles on my bed on top of my pillows. Whenever I approach or get up to retrieve something from my nightstand, she runs away from my direction with the speed of light.
She doesn't seem frightened or anything because she comes right back.. but she zooms out, does a u-turn, and hides behind a little box by the night stand.
There's a couple things I think it could be:
she might be assuming that I was going to pick her up and put her back in her enclosure, thus ending play-time. And she doesn't want that, obvi.
she could also just be playful but I'm not entirely too sure if bunnies run away as a sign of play.
I just want to make sure she's not genuinely frightened of me; there are no other indications that she is so I doubt this is it.
I'd appreciate feedback
Thank you!
Take care all!
