Does my bunny like me?

[Twobuns]

I have two gorgeous bunnies, and I got them this August. I want to know if they have bonded with me. So far, they haven’t shown any signs of affection to me, like licking or snuggling with me, though they certainly aren’t scared of me either. My buns don’t like it when I pet them, I thought bunnies are supposed to like that I’m afraid my buns just think I’m a machine that gives them food, nothing else. So, do you think my bunnies like me and can you give me some bonding tips?

Oh that’s so frustrating when they are such little ingrates! We have to Just enjoy them for who they are. I’m not sure if having two tends to encourage them to bond stronger with each other? Just hoped to jumpstart this conversation for you. All I can think of is to lay on the floor when they are out and about and let them ce to you and offer little treats. They’re all different in how much physical attention they want. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a rabbit before this one that gave kisses so I don’t know if you should necessarily expect that. Good luck. Some Bunnies take a really long time to come around.

Some bunnies just enjoy human attention more than others. I’m assuming your bunnies are bonded? Bonded bunnies sometimes prefer each other’s attention over their human, but this doesn’t mean they don’t like you. It’s just more natural for them to socialize with each other. My bunnies are not bonded but I wish they were. I would get a lot of joy from seeing the happiness they bring each other.

Here’s a good article on bonding tips:
