Two of my rabbits are still a bit timid, eventhough I got them as babies. My rescue rabbit is the most affectionateand looooves being pet.
Abby, whom we've had since she was 8 weeks old and is now six monthsold, is just starting to really be ok with us petting her. She willcome to us willingly and licks us to no end, so I know she loves us,but we can only pet her on her own terms.
Valuran will come to us too, to give nose nudges and sniffs. He likesto "groom" my hair too. However, he bolts if we make any move to pethim. It's rare that he'll sit still to be pet.
I've come to the conclusion, with my own rabbits at least, that ageplays a certain part in it. Also, getting them altered, to calm downhormones. Abby didn't like to be pet all that much until getting herspayed. Now she is much more tolerant. Valuran the same, but it hasn'tbeen quite two weeks since his surgury, so I think he still has toomany hormones. Plus, both of them are young, with much more energy thanmy other rabbit, who is almost four.
They all respond well to treats. I know my rabbits love me and when Ilay on the floor unmoving they always come over to investigate. Theyare rabbits around me and not afraid, so I know that's a good sign. Iam hoping as time goes on, they'll become more like Chompers and rollonto their sides when I hit that good spot and click their teeth at me.
