Why is she doing this?

Question

please take time to read this i would be much appreaciated of all your answers.

my rabbit wouldnt usually come right up ro me when i went to feed her but recently she has been coming up to me and sticking her head kind of further forward why?

i stroke her when she does it and, and i always used to before she started that, and she also seems a bit sad and lonly recently it makes me sad what can i do to help her.

Answer 1

She wants a nice head scratch :)

Answer 2

She just trusts you now, and sees you as someone to give her company and stroke her. That's a good thing, the fact you've earnt her trust and she WANTS to come to you. There's nothing wrong with her, and she's not lonely- rabbits, unlike guinea pigs, can live alone happily. If you add another rabbit now, they are libal to fight, and don't even think of adding a guinea pig- that's a whole new dimenson of unneeded cruelty.

Answer 3

When i first got my rats they where TERRIFIED of me. They would never want to come to me. After a while they would know i was coming with their food but they still didn't know me yet so they didn't come. Later they ran up to me every time i came to them! They knew me better and loved me. I think your rabbit is understanding you are trying to be good to it and so it is coming to you. It os probably sticking out her head for the food because she knows you have some.

As for the sad and lonly, i can't tell you anything about that. Animals just look sad and lonly, its not like they can smile...

I did not get any of this information from any wesites or anything. I might not be right...

Answer 4

Rabbits are highly social animals, and when they are housed by themselves, need more attention than usual, and have a shortened lifespan. Rabbits thrive with the company of other rabbits, or possibly a guinea pig, try getting her a friend.

Good luck!

Answer 5

if you have had another one,that may have passed away....that could very well be it. Or the simple fact she wants a play mate.

Answer 6

She's requesting that you pet her! That is a bunny's way of saying "please pet me".
