It's took a long time but today we have had a breakthrough..

Dudley allowed Mike to stroke him and tikkle him. His whole body tenses and goes hard as a rock when you stroke him but he didn't box or try to bite the hand he realised at last that it was a nice feeling to be stroked and tikkled and his eyes closed when Mike rubbed behind his ears and he was told all the time that he was a very good boy. Which he is

We got Dudley on the 9th May 2012 and it's only today that we have been able to stroke him

What bad memories has this little chap go to be so terrified? Well done I think you are great persevering with him and please when he gets a little more used to you, will you please give him a noserub from his Auntie Jo?

Hugs

JO xx

aww i knew mike would get through to duds in the end
well done mike

I'm over the moon to hear this - we had thought he was going to be a real long termer due to his problems.

Bless him <3 He is a handsome little chap, isn't he?

Awwwww What a lovely little guy Dudley is This really has lifted my spirits completely (not that they were particularly down, but I now have a smile on my face like this -> which I don't think is going anywhere!), so pleased you guys have made a breakthrough, I'm sure with all the Tuckerbunny love he can get he will come along leaps and bounds.

You guys really are amazing at what you do

Great news

Well done Dudley oh, and Mike too of course

Oh Maysie, that really does speak volumes about the commitment and high quality of care you offer these little bunnies. How rewarding an experience for Mike

I'm so behind with bun updates! Dudley?? He looks a but like Rory, beautiful

This is just brilliant

Oh how completely wonderful.

You have done something amazing with him.

Please include a nose rub from me next time too xxxx

I had no doubt in my mind that it would happen and I am SO happy it did! Mike is a true bunny whisperer. Tuckerbunny love does it again!

Thats amazing, well done!

This is fantastic, well done the both of you. Im so glad he is learning that he's in the best place and nobody can hurt him ever again.

Brilliant
It was lovely to meet Dudley, his pictures dont do him justice, do they! He looks like a different bun in these pictures!

Its brilliant that hes coming around though. Do you think he would benefit from a friend? Hughie tenses up sometimes when you stroke him in certain places, but hes getting better. Bless em all!!

We hope to bond him with Jamie as she lost Chudleigh Flint not so long ago and they seem to like each other but we would like
to be able to handle him more before we bond them

Good old Dudley.
What a big step for a little bun>

ahhhh Dudley, bless his heart.

What a good boy. Bless him
