Henley's Progress

Henley has been 2 yrs.

 with us and I thought

I would share some of

her progress...

She is different from the big buns and not as out going.

She is more timid, but we have made progress.

In case you wonder why there are more

big bun pictures, well they are in

your face - ALL the time! Looking for food!

Henley is more reclusive.

Every night we watch TV in bed and cuddle.

Although she doesn't have another bun, she does

have Taz and previously was closer to

Finn before he passed.  I just don't have the

room to try bonding two rabbits downstairs

so she will most likely never have a bonded buddy.

She has investigated the big buns upstairs.

 She comes out more often

because I think she is more comfortable.

She's a pretty good girl- with just a

few chewing escapades and is out

all day in my bedroom, bathroom

and walk in closet.  She seems

 to enjoy her freedom.

 When I got her she was

in a tiny little cage.

Smaller than the cage my

 guinea pig has at night

and was not litter trained.

Her favorite spot is behind my bed.

 She has learned at night that she has go in her kennel

area. I tell her to go in her house and

and shine the flash light on my phone at

her.  That's her cue to go in her house

and she hops in her little cage area.

I didn't want to chase her or force pick her up

because she is very

afraid of being picked up.

She has her own bunny litter box

but decided herself to use the cat litter boxes.

She went through a phase where

she dug in the cat boxes.  I really did not

appreciate cleaning up the mess!

I tried not to get too mad since

she has always been so

good at using the litter box!

Pick your battles right?

She's had no mistakes or leaving little markings.

Perfect Bun potty habits!

I try to only pick her up

when I need to and I never just pick her up

immediately.  I pet her and talk to her for

a few minutes.  She seems more relaxed.

She doesn't "Love" it but she

doesn't freeze and get all

stiff and tense anymore.

  

She also doesn't run from me, and

will come over on occasion

on her own for pets.

She does give kisses or licks to me.

She's an example of how

a bunny can come out of their

shell if given the opportunity

and patience.
