Building Trust with your Netherland Dwarf or Jersey Wooly Bunny
- Give them space and time to adjust to their new environment.
- Approach them slowly and calmly, speaking softly and avoiding sudden movements.
- Offer them treats, such as small pieces of fruit or vegetables, to associate positive experiences with your presence.
- Spend time near their enclosure, talking to them and providing gentle petting if they seem comfortable with it.
- Avoid picking them up or handling them too much in the beginning, allowing them to come to you on their own terms.
- Be consistent in your interactions with them, establishing a routine and providing regular care and attention.
- Provide them with toys and activities to keep them mentally stimulated and happy.
- Respect their boundaries and never force them to interact with you if they seem uncomfortable or scared.
