What worked really well for me was a car ride. I had someone else drive, I was in the back (to moderate) with each rabbit in a separate carrier and a neutral space in between. My one rabbit was so afraid of being in a car that she actually crossed the neutral space to jump in the more aggressive rabbit's carrier, and that was the first time they ever groomed each other.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468713627933431744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894028393776197424.post-62877837977369786412011-02-02T17:18:19.082-07:002011-02-02T17:18:19.082-07:00They're pretty good about coming up to me when...They're pretty good about coming up to me when I'm lying on the floor, climbing over my legs and sitting on my back. They're getting better about me approaching, too, until I go to touch them. I'm hoping they'll get used to it over time!<br /><br />We'll keep trying - I'll let you know if the chasing turns out to be fun or not!Malcolm Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764866197996240367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894028393776197424.post-81894170996679713712011-02-01T22:08:04.759-07:002011-02-01T22:08:04.759-07:00Excellent progress!

I've found that sitting down or even stretching out on the floor encourages them to approach, since it brings you closer to their level.<br /><br />Chase can be a good thing as long as it isn't followed by tackle and bite or claw and as long as both appear to be enjoying it. Sometimes a pair will take turns chasing each other around. <br /><br />Those two little puffballs are just too cute perched in your lap, btw.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128296251117227112noreply@blogger.com
