Hi this is my first post, I'm hoping to get some advice.
I have two rabbits named Cola and Velvet, they were bought from the pet store and I believe they are sisters,When I first got them they were not very comfortable with me holding them, so I would take them in everyday to let them settle on my lap. They seemed pretty relaxed, but as soon as they return to the cage, they hide and run.
After a few weeks of the same routine I figured it wasn't working out for them or me. So I tried sitting with them in the run, letting them sniff me and feeding them dandelion leaves when they approach, this worked for Velvet however, but Cola is still fleeing.
Everyday I let them out to put them in the run, hopefully soon when the garden if completely safe, the entire garden. (I've had previous rabbits who ran freely in the garden) and then I take them in at night, feed them and fill up their water bottle if it's low or empty.
I know it may take longer for other rabbits to get used to it, but for Cola, it's been almost 3 months, and I'm not sure how to help her.
They're both rex breeds, and I wasn't sure how they were treated previously in the pet store.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you for reading.
