Perhaps start with those closest to you and if you don't feel or find that connection you move on to the next bun and so on..
I have met a few buns lately...but Bella got me...not to mention that English Angora....trying to decide whether to get him or not...
Meeting them in person is the only way for me to decide at least....
I think you're right. I just emailed the lady with the Jersey Wooly (she's the closest one to me... she actually works at my school) and asked if I could meet her baby Woolies to see if any of them like me. I also emailed the lady with the Lionhead/Lop and asked if I could come next weekend and see them.
Soo, how do you know if a rabbit likes you? I read that they lick you, but I'm not sure that any bun that I just met would do such a thing.
lol...you would be surprised...If you had ever come to my house when Simon was alive he would have attacked you for love. Jump right up, start licking and nudging you...He was king of this castle
Baby buns are different I think though...more shy and more careful...
Say you are there and a bun is hiding and trying to get away from you...bad sign.
If there is a bun that is checking you out, sniffing you,running around you and even throws a binky in for kicks...that would be a good sign.....Personally I like being able to pet and snuggle with my buns so if a bun is just too nervous and worried, scared all the time, a biter...not for my family.
I can't really offer any more on that except to say, go and spend some time with the buns...see how you feel around them all...and the person who has them I would hope knows some about buns and could talk to you about that. Never be afraid to pick a brain
Questions I asked today about Bella...how is her diet, what does she like to eat,not like, or disagrees with her tum. What is a general idea of her attitude. What kind of brushes do I need to buy to take proper care of her coat...discussed how the hair is long around her eyes and so Jeanette feels that she gets startled a bit by you because she can't see you coming so to speak...but once she smells you she calms down....Ask when they last saw a vet, has there been any problems? Has there been times of not eating, bad poo, doesn't like hay etc. Simon was a brat and didn't like to eat hay...eating hay is important and one of the first questions I ask now
Do they like toys? Have a favorite something? Chewer? I had to cover and protect any wires, dangles etc that Simon could popssibly chew. He liked to eat everything he shouldn't.What about spay and neuter? I find attitudes improve and mellow when they get fixed although the binkies start to get fewer after that
Least with some of the buns I have encountered....
