Hi,

I'd like to say I am now no longer pushing Juno's head down when she bites. I am now just sternly saying no.
This was due to her fearing my hand near her head.

This was @Preitler idea.

I am glad to say that it's working, she's happy with my hand again. I saw her laying in her bedding area and was able to pet her head for ages without her scurrying away or biting.

I completely forgot that when they play up in the kitchen (trying to nibble cupboards) I tell them "no" and they stop immediately and walk away. So they most likely know that the tone of my voice means they are being naughty.
I should not underestimate my bunnies grasp of tones and body language.

Thank you everyone on the advice on my previous thread, we are both a lot happier now.

Great! I also use NO, and Cinnabun easily understands.
