...and I've had him for over a year, and you'd think that he would actually like to be held/cuddled? Well that's a big negative! Even if I am sitting down and have him on my lap or on my belly, he gets antsy and nervous within a minute. He'll then start to pull at my clothes or nudge my arm insistently (as if saying "please move it!"). He's even thumped on my chest a couple of times, to let me know that he wants to get down. Now when I am on the floor, on his level, he'll creep out from under the bed and approach me on HIS terms. He likes to climb up on me, but he'll never stay put for long...and if I try to pet him, 95% of the time he'll dash back under the bed. I treasure the little moments when he actually does let me bend down and pet him without him scurrying away! I can tell that he loves me though, because he is always interested in what I am doing around my room, and he WILL come up and give me loving nudges! I just sometimes wish that he was more affectionate! He's a little over 2 years old, so maybe in time he'll settle down and let me love on him more. He was with children for the first year of his life, so I always blame his skittish manner on the kids that had him for 4-H. Any thoughts/advice/tips anyone? Anybody have a bun similar to mine?
