I'm sure she hates me!

I've had my bunny for just over a month now, I think.

I'm so sure she hates me, she runs away from me. And the other day I gave he rsome carrot I swear she was going to eat ME! I don't understand.

she has the run of a large kitchen and the hallway.she has a cage that she can go in if she wants to feel safe, is shelonely? x

Is she neutered and/or rescued? Some rescue buns can be traumatised from previous experiences and take ages to come round. Sometime entire females can be like that, apparently they respond to your pheromones, and if you wear perfume it can make it worse.

She was from p@h so she could be traumatised lol Jay are you stalking my posts? :p

if I wear perfume? I know...i'll roll in her bed, then she'll think i is bunny xox

Thing is, this isn'ta loud house, there'sno dogs no cats andno children. she should be in heaven i'm sure! xox

and no she'snot neutered xox

Bunnies of a nervous disposition can take a while to trust big scary humans. Have you tried spending time down on the floor at her level with her and mimicking bunny body language?

I don't understand her body language, her ears are always down, and she just likes to eat thing sshe's not supposed to lol! i spend an hour with her each day more if Idon't have an ill pig lol. x

I was thinking I should get her a friend. x

This website will help you understand bunny body language. By interacting with her in a way she will understand, you may find that she starts to feel more comfortable around you.

The chances are she will be happier with a friend but obviously with her not being neutered this limits your options. How old is she? Generally females can be neutered at 6 months old and in the long run this protects against uterine cancer which is very common in bunnies.

If you put her with another female there are likely to be fireworks, particularly as she is not spayed. You obviously can't put her with an un neutered male. You would need to get a castrated male in that instance.

As far as I know she's about 9months. we have an emergencyvet fund but otherhalf says its not an emergency. so a neutered male would be best for us...I think I saw, simbah amoment ago? xox

Ideally you would need to get her done eventually to protect her from uterine cancer. Her not being spayed may even make a castrated male a little crazy too!

I think Simbah is terrotorial? how well would he mix with my bunny? ahh.....catswhiskas, help! I don't want a lonely bunny:Dx

I would say your best bet would be to find a rescue that would do the bond for you.

That sounds like a good plan. Do you know any near me? xox

I'm looking at the rspca cambridge. xox

I agree with the neutering thing, my Luna was so stroppy for months and months, we got her neutered she calmed down a bit...but was lonely...we got Thistle but she HATED him till he was neutered, now they are best of friends!! Neutering is a defo a good investment...because of course it prevents uterine cancer as well . Other things I did to calm her down was buy some seren um drops from pets at home, HOWEVER they did sort of work, but I don't think they agreed with her digestive system - too much protein or something. So maybe not the best idea. We also spent time on floor level bonding with her ourselves, she particularly liked hanging out in the lounge with us and would lie on the sofa next to me or the OH !!
Don't think she hates you though , she will come round if you work together doing the right things Good luck!! x

Not off the top of my head. I foster for RSPCA Lincoln and Mid Lincs branch and myself and the other fosterer bond bunnies for people, so hopfully Cambridge will do the same.

I'm in peterborough, that's not too far from lincs? xox

I justlooked atthe bottom of the rspca bunnythingand it says they havekennels in ruskington near sleaford that'sperfect? xox

Where do you live?

Peterborough be we are willing to travel for the right bun! xox I like Bugs? xo

Bugs would definately need to go with a neutered lady. I think this is where the stumbling block may be

Oh I thought he was neuthered? Sorry, how much does neutering cost? xox

Yeah he is but his character would be difficult to bond with an entire female that is all. He is a lovely chap though.

would a bubby be accepted any easier? Could we give him a go? I could bring issobelle with me and maybe she could pick someone? xox
