My Bunny is almost 3 months old now, and I've had him since he was 4 weeks old. He doesn't have a cage, he is free to roam when I am home, but he has to stay in my room when I'm out.
He's fine with me petting him but he's nervous and a little jumpy a lot of the time. I never pick him up because I don't want to break the trust that we already have.
I unfortunately had to leave him for 2 and a half weeks just recently, and got back last Sunday. He was definitely happy to see me, doing binkies like crazy and even jumped onto my back as I often lay on my belly to say hello to him.
He's almost back to normal, but I just don't know how to get closer to him. I want him to trust me more and I want to be able to pick him up to trim his nails... I would also really like to get a harness on him and take him into my little yard, if we ever got close enough.
What can I do? And how can I do all this without completely ruining the trust that we have already?
p.s. my dream is to one day get him to do some bunny showjumping or agility. If you think I'm crazy, just search it on youtube!
