I've had my new buns (two bucks, two does) for a week. They have settled into their new condos (hanging cages) and are eating well. They have tasted as a few dogwood leaves (loved them) and white clover flowers and leaves (one flower each and a few leaves) (loved those).
Here's the thing: one of the does is a nervous Nelly :bunnyhop: . When my son has tried to hold her to calm her (she was hopping off the walls) she screamed at him. Now, she gets all nervous whenever he approaches her cage. She is also nervous around Mother but to a lesser extent. She is calmer with me but still not trusting--she seems to like that I sing to her. I'd like to offer some high value treats to teach her to trust us but I don't want to upset her stomach. Suggestions? I'd rather her want to be held rather than her freaking out every time.
