        ive had my bunny for going on 3 months and she has always loved me, cuddled with me, let me hold her and pet her and more but now all of a sudden in the past couple days my bunny seems scared of me. Every time I try to pick her up out of her cage she kind of growls and runs away and sometimes nips at me. She will let my boyfriend pick her up and everything but when I try she wont let me. I’ve tried sitting on the floor and letting her do her own thing To see if she will come up to me but she doesn’t want anything to do with me. She will thump her foot and run off whenever I walk close to her. It breaks my heart to see her not want anything to do with me. Can someone please help me?

          I actually had a really similar case around the same time with Midnight (my oldest bun). She would go to the “treat giver” (my father) with no problem, but would completely avoid me, despite me being her closest friend for a long time. Is your bun fixed? Mine wasn’t at the time and the vet said that was likely a reason. The way I finally calmed my bunny down enough to come near me was just to lay on my stomache and read or play on my phone (be careful with books though if your borrowing, as some little ones will try to chew it up). When she felt ready, she’d come up and sniff me and a few times walk on my back. If you move towards her during that time, she may try to run thinking you may pick her up. Just let her come to you, and, if she nudges at your hand, give her a gentle petting Mine got over it within about a month or so, but is still a little angry when she gets put in her pen an night.

            She is not fixed. I’m trying to find a vet around our area to see about getting that done. But I will definitely try that. Thank you for all the information!
