Yeah, I had developed a decent relationship with the little guy. When I opened his cage up he would stand up on his back legs and look at me. He would let me pet him. That was all before the vacuum cleaner. Now, when I turn on the light and walk towards the cage he runs and hides in his hiding spot. It is sad.
It takes time, he’s still a kit. Let him experience a lot and reinforce those memories with something positive.
I know how you feel. Myself own a bunny that’s really scared of humans and would always bite. After owning him for a year I can pick him up whenever I want and flick his nose without him growling or attacking. He will lay down the head so I can pet him, run up to me and say hello and spend hours cuddling.
None of my family noticed him being aggressive, but in the beginning I always got new bruises and wounds from him. That went on for 6 months. I can tell you I wanted to give up many times because of his behavior and how scared he was.
Now he’s one of the cuddles bunnies you can find and when he sleeps, he looks adorable. So I never regrets all the ups and down moment I had with him in the beginning.
Myself still don’t have a solid bond with him yet but at least the bond only gets better for every day that goes. And the set backs are no longer as bad as they was before.
You will feel quite the enjoyment, when you think back later. You will see a different individual that have grown trusting you and the bond you have built up.
You will also have some set backs when building your bond with a bunny. But they will always bounce back with a little encouragement and love [emoji5]
