Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / January 2008Just and update
Hi all and lots of fusses for the bun buns too :) Just a quick update on life with the 2 madams. Honey is the more easy going of the two and loves to be petted occasionally. She never comes to me for pets its always the other way round. Miranda doesn't come to me for anything. She will however take food from my hand but skitters away if I try to put a hand near her. If I sit on the floor I am ignored by both of them. Honey has gotten into the habbit of making a grand entrance into the lounge now... she starts out in the hall and runs... binkies through the doorway and lands in the middle of the lounge. It cracks me up every time. If gets angry if you shut the lounge door so come winter we are all going to be very cold LOL. Honey is obviously the alpha bun. Her idea of fun is to constantly give chase to Miranda. Nothing ever comes of it and and hour later they can be asleep about 3 feet apart from each other. On another note... can anyone suggest something to take the red staining out of carpet? These two devil women are wrecking ours. I have strategically placed hay boxes where they like to pee but they are smart enough just to do it beside the hay ...GRRRR So all in all we don't really seem to be getting anywhere with them. I know Honey is happy, I don't know about Miranda as she is too timid. I have never seen her binkie either :( Take care all, Regards Kate, Miranda and Honey Dear Kate, It sounds like things are going well the the girls, even if it doesn't seem like there is much "progress". Miranda sounds like my Jake. He will come to me to take a cranberry and then skitters away. If I approach him, he'll often grunt at me and then go hide. Many times I worry that he just doesn't like me, but I know it's not true. I think he just has a shy personality, and I think that whatever experiences he had before he found his forever home with us just make him more timid around hoomins. Don't be discouraged! You are doing a great job! Just keep loving these girls. One thing that helps with our Jake is to put him in a pen and then sit in there with him. For some reason, this makes him comfortable. Maybe trying something like this with Miranda would help? Hang in there! Hugs, Marie it has taken me four years to get lana bona to like to be pet. i had a spell i had to give her meds..unlike most buns. the more i picked her up. the freindlier she has gotten. so , i keep picking her up. she even lets me kiss her once and a while. while we have a hold on her, we double kiss her on both cheeks.. she likes that... beth and her cute little fuzzbutts, :) http://community.webtv.net/jerseybunny/bethsabsolutely http://community.webtv.net/jerseybunny/thatcatsurehaslong http://community.webtv.net/jerseybunny/FUZZYBUTTS > it has taken me four years to get lana bona to like to be pet. i had a > spell i had to give her meds..unlike most buns. the more i picked her [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://community.webtv.net/jerseybunny/FUZZYBUTTS Hello, Our jack Loves Connie very much. Me also but he will not let me pick him up. Connie picks him up whenever she likes. He will let me pet him. He will not move until I stop. He also grunts when it is feeding time especially his evening salad. He free roams half the time the rest of the time he happilly spends in his pen. He lets Connie kiss him also. John, Connie and Jack Pepper will allow me to pick her up on occasion but for about 10 seconds before she starts to fight free. She's been with me about a year and a half. Sh has certain places where she sits that if I come up slowly she will allow me to pet her head and face, but she is always the one in charge. Wendy Z Hi Kate, Miranda is the Dutchy, no? My Hendrik will never let me touch him either. It's just the way he is. But he is happy to be with me, I'm sure. He's been living with me for about two years now and our relationship is still developing. Only touching is out of the question. I'm sure he has good reasons for that, even if they are unknown to me. Maybe if you could also accept that touching isn't the defining factor in a relationship with a rabbit, you'll feel less disappointed? Hendrik has learned over time to come running if I call him. He is now able to run freely in the garden for half an hour each day (supervised) and then comes scooting into the kitchen for a treat. He has taken to sitting next to whatever chair I'm sitting in. When I sit on the floor at night, he will find a way to be close. But no touching, thank you Mam! We're fine.
