We took in 2 lovely bunnies from an aquaintance who was moving and couldn’t take them .
They are a bonded male/female pair of siblings who are both neutered.
They’re under a year old and I think are heading in to adolescence.
The person we adopted them from said they had been handled since birth and they are indoor bunnies .
We’ve had them around 5 months now and although they will happily come up to us , they seem very much aloof !
Neither enjoys being stroked (rarely the female will let us but usually she hops off ),
they will eat from our hands and come over to say hello but that’s about it .
The male will jump up to sit with us but usually in an attempt to see what we’re eating .
They are relaxed around us as they flop at or feet etc.
They both HATE being picked up. Ever.
I hear of house buns snuggling up for hours with their humans - are we doing something wrong?
