I was just wondering how many of you have a good relationship with your bunnies and how many feel that your bonded bunnies mostly tolerate you but you are just there to provide food as far as they are concerned? When I had just Hoppy it took me a long time but she did bond with me and wanted attention from me. Then when I got Clover, Hoppy bonded to him very quickly and lost some interest in me but still would come to me for some attention (no longer wanted to be held though). Clover alowed us to pet him but mostly was interested in Hoppy and followed her around so if she came to me, then he often did too. After Hoppy died i got Lilly right away and shortly after Bindi. Lilly was never interested in people but Bindi seemed very friendly at first. However all the rabbits bonded with each other and totally lost interest in people. They come to me only for food and otherwise stay away, if we are in the room they mostly stay in their cage and come out when no one is here, often if they are out and I come in then they run back to the cage.
They are cute and I am glad that they are happy but I wish (and I hate to sound childish) that they would like me. I also have a dog, two cockatiels and a cockatoo and they all love attention but the bunnies do not want to be bothered.
Is it possible to have more then one rabbit and have them enjoy attention from people? I do not think I will be able to change these bunnies, I have been trying for months and they are not afraid of me but just do not see any use for me other then providing food. To have a very people friendly bunny is it really better to have just one?
