Hello everyone,
I have coming here for any questions I have about our new rabbit that I adopted a month ago. This community has been very helpful, I love that everyone is looking out for everyone and their buns! My fiance and I adopted a neutered 4 month old rabbit from a rabbit rescue society mid June. He was very stressed out in the beginning and it seems like he is still stressed. We live in an apartment and he gets half of the kitchen with a cxc cage that is 4x6 panel which is quite big. He has plenty of toys and hidey homes. We try to feed him treats like fruits but he takes a bite and jumps away. We let him free roam in the apartment yesterday while we watched t.v. He ran around doing zoomies and it made me so happy! Today he has been hiding from me all day, sitting at the window sill. He still eats and drinks water but I do not see that many poop droppings compared to the first few weeks we brought him in. He is currently moulting and refuses for me to his groom him. He runs away everytime I try to pet him, since day 1.
I know he is very shy and still afraid of me where everytime I come up to him, he bolts. I cant help but feel heartbroken that he doesn't want to bond with me. I understand that he is still scared and that he is young so there is plenty of time for us to get to know each other. Do you have any recommendations on how to bond with him so he wont hide from me all day? Thank you everyone!!
p.s. here is a picture of him hiding from me all day
