How do i make my rabbit like me?

I just got a rabbit. i don't know how old she is or much about her. someone from my school couldn't take care of her anymore, so i took her. i know almost nothing about her or rabbits. she is very angry all time, and she acts very scared when i try to pet her or do anything. i don't know what to do. i want her to be happy. someone help!How do i make my rabbit like me?
give it time.


pet or stroke her back when you put food in her cage.


she will come to associate that pleasure with you.


soon after, she will come to the front when she sees youHow do i make my rabbit like me?
It all depends why she is doing this.


Doe's can become aggressive at 5-6 months of age if they are not spayed. Ask the previous owner if she has been done. This will settle hormones and make her les likely to attack to protect her territory.





If she had little handling this will add to the problem. Handle her daily whilst sitting down with vegetables will help her to gain your trust. Taming can take up to 6 months with the most petrified rabbit.


Another thing you can do is have her cage at head height so you are not towering over her. This can be very scary for rabbits as it is like a bird of prey trying to attack them.
It will take a long time for them to trust you if you do the right things. in about two months you will notice she will start to warm up to you. Let her hop around, quietly lay some food out for her and sit in the same room reading a book or doing something quiet. Sometimes when you go to feed her pet her.She will eventually becoming up to you to say hi.
Gaining the trust of your rabbit can be a little tricky and takes a lot of patience. Keep in mind that rabbits are prey animals, so they are naturally skittish, and that she just made a HUGE move. All of the sights, sounds, and smells are unfamiliar to her.





For now, do not try to pick her up unless absolutely necessary. Rabbits generally do not like being held, as they prefer to have there feet firmly planted on the ground (unless they're running, jumping, and binky-ing around).





You should have a cage that opens on the side rather than the top. Just open it up, and she will come out on her own. Just sit quietly near the cage, and let her come to you. To get her accustomed to the idea of you as a friend, hold a piece of apple, banana, carrot, or other fruit. She will come to you and nibble at it. Don't be offended if she takes it out of your hand and eats it elsewhere. Give her time to get used to your presence.





As she starts to get used to you, you can start to pet her. My rabbits like to be scratched behind the ears. Make sure that you never reach for her head on. Because rabbits' eyes are on the side of their head, they have a blind spot in front. If you reach for her from straight in front of her, she won't see your hand until its right in front of her, and it will spook her.





There is a lot to know about caring for a rabbit. I highly recommend that you read this website, especially the sections on diet.

basically a rabbit dislike to be touched from people,


for instance, some rabbits hate to be held.


but there are rabbits that like to be touched their forehead.


please try to touch forehead, at that time, touch like wrapping by palm.


if rabbits may close their eyes, feel calm emotion.





and please make the place so that he can hide.


rabbits are herbivouse animal. if there is not so place,


they will feel stress, becom nervous.


I think that curtain etc will be good.


Please dont forget to feed water. rabbits can never live if there is not water.





please don't put in noisy place,too. rabbits is nervous to sounds.


When they feel stress, kick their back foot to ground, make big sounds(it is said Stumping). when their ears stand, they will be very nervous. please make calm and quiet place.





and for day, please release him from his cage.


if he is into cage everyday, he will feel stress.


please be played him at garden with much nature and so on.





please feed fresh vegitables on addition to rabbit foods.


carrot, cabbage and lettuce etc will be better.





I am grad if my experience is for you.


sorry that cant write well English(a foreigner).
Just sit by her cage for a while every day- few hours. She'll get used to your presence and then you can get more bonded by carefully handling her a few times every day.
you need to spend more quality time with her try to give her treats and pet her.
U Got To Be With It The Whole Time Until It likes U. Animals Are Just like people? u have to get to know someone by hanging around W/ them. In This Case Spend a lot of time w/ the Rabbit.
you have to build confidence in the rabit to beable to trust you.. soo be very gentle and dont do any fast movement..
