awww bless, looks really cuddly, bet that would cause some wriggles though

Cazza269 · 10-03-2005, 09:07 AM

unfortunately he isn't very cuddly, but I don't know his background so it may be he has some bad experiences from before

thats usually my problem with animals, the desire to stroke and cuddle those who do not wish it.

my parents got two rescue dogs while I was still living there, one adopted me more over the other family members, she had such a fear of sticks, especially old ladies walking sticks (she was punished a bit by a little old lady who well, didn't realise anymore she was doing wrong, that's how they became rescue dogs) she would wet herself and everything, but slowly she got over it. My gran has a stick you see, Molly (the dog) would jump on my lap (half killing me she was a big dog) and I would comfort her, it was not too nice for a while, accidents on your lap tend not to be too pleasent, but slowly she realised it was safe, and now does not care one bit, and is more likely to try to trip my gran up now.

It's always a problem I feel knowing what fears to accept as a animal's quirks and avoid at all cost, or whether to slowly help them to loose them. Then again I don't know that many cuddly bunnies, just every time I see one I want to cuddle it

aww poor dogs, good they have a good home now though

as for bunnies they don't really like being picked up much anyhow, but he just doesn't like to be touched at all

ah sounds like he had to put up with a younger version of me, at least I know I shouldn't cuddle the things I want to

must be hard though not to stroke such a cutie

Cazza269 · 10-03-2005, 09:31 AM

I am trying to get him used to it by bribing him with treats

he is slowly coming round, but it is hard he is such a sweetie

How old is he, and is he neutered?

He's a handsome chappie

Cazza269 · 10-03-2005, 10:17 AM

he is a year old approx, and yes, I had him nuetered about a month and a bit ago, as he is a rescue I am unsure of exact age, but the lady at the rescue estimated that he would have been born in the summer, he is very handsome, I think originally he has been from a proper breeder

He is very good looking. To be honest I had many many rabbits as a child, even up to university where I had house bunnies, but only a handful were real cuddle monsters. I do fancy a pair of rabbits when I move to my new house with a nice big garden. I know when the time comes I will be spoiled for choice there are so many in the rescues around here. Many come from the local Pets at Home where they were sold as pets to young children who just don't understand they are not big cuddly, fluffy pets but do have hard nails and a strong kick. I am glad they make it to the rescue though, how many others are now living out their lives in a hutch outside in a garden somewhere with hardly any human contact
