I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong. Considering the fact that I was told to get something easier to handle than a Netherland Dwarf rabbit, I know that they are supposedly one of the hardest breeds to take care of, but I feel I'm doing a decent job. I looked up everything, got information on the breed, and everything before committing, so I'm positive it ISN'T the lack of care I give to her.
For some reason, she just seems so angry all the time. She hates when anyone is near her, and unfortunately when she runs around, she has to be confined into my room, which...Is a pretty big open space, we even have the bathroom open for her, so she has even more room...But. If anyone gets up, to lets say...Feed our fish, on the other side of the room, she'll run under something, as if scared we'll attack her, and thump her feet like crazy.
Another thing that's bugging me, is that when it's time to put her back into her cage, Which mind you is on the ground, we rarely try to pick her up, she goes nutso, hides, thumps, and nips.
The strangest part yet, is that when she's IN her cage, she's very friendly, happy, and lets us touch her, but it's only when she's outside, that she starts acting so spazzy. I just don't know what to do. I understand that I've only had her for a month, but it still is discerning that she doesn't seem to like us even the slightest bit.
It's almost as if she's 'tolerating' us, because we clean her cage. Haha.
Is there any way to get her used to us, when she's not in her cage too? She NEVER thumps in there, unless we have to move her cage into the bathroom, because she's making so much noise, and we don't want to constantly be telling her to stop what she's doing. But this doesn't happen to often.
I know it's too early to despair, but I suppose I was just looking forward to being motherly, and make her grow to trust me, but it honestly doesn't seem we're getting anywhere.
With the way she acts, it's almost as if we abuse her-- Which we don't. Never ever would even THINK to do so.
Any help is appreciated.
