So, I picked up a couple new bunnies last week. I originally went in for one, but the lady ended up having two. Anyways, the one bunny seems to be sick so I am awaiting for a vet appointment, he is a netherland dwarf bunny, she says about 5 or 6 months old.
OKay so the rabbit I need advice for is a 6 month old lion head doe. When I inquired about her, the lady had said that she is a little timid, but not too much. I took that as: she is a nervous around new people but doesnt take long to feel at home. Thats the way this lady made it sound. So, we have had this girl for a week now. I have her inside as I want her toget used to us being around etc.. well, i cant even walk past her cage without her stomping at me. I figured at first it was her being scared etc, but then after a cuople days I thought maybe she wanted more attention, as I trying not to bug her too much in the first while, wanted to give her space as she adjusts. So, then I tried to pet her and she stomped again and ran..its like when you sit on the couch by her cage, if you even move a little she stomps and then runs around.
I have never had a rabbit that stomps so much. I have a few mini rex does who stomp if I dont fill up their food dish before the boys' lol.
If you have any suggestions, please tell me! I was debating whether I should breed her to my lion head buck, but if she has a poor temperment, I wont even think about it.. but if it an issue that we can resolve, maybe I am doign something wrong with her, then I would like to breed her in the future. I have a list of intersted people for lion heads.
Thanks
