my rabbit wont eat from my hand!! he used to but now he doesnt!
Answers:
sounds like you love him, but maybe your not giving him enough time alone. i wouldn't worry to much if he doesn't eat from your hand. my rabbit LOVES me (I mean, REALLY loves me), and she won't eat from my hand, but I don't care. I still love her even if she doesn't!
maybe you should wash your hands. i don't like to eat from dirty plates I'm sure your rabbit doesn't either.
Wash them first!
just put it in a bowl- as long as he's eating it doesn't matter if it's from your hand or not.
maybe your hand smells....really bad lol lol lol
He/she may be sick or stressed.
Did you change her diet?
Will she eat at all?
Is she biting/scratching?
Is she passing normal pellets?
Those are some signs of sickness or stress. If none of those she/he may just be having behavioral changes.If any of those occure take him/her to ur vet. GOOD LUCK!
wash your hands... wash the treat if its fruit or veggies... before feeding it sit it on your lap and pet it, if you hear it grinding its teeth its content and most likely trusts you more. try feeding it then and if it doesnt eat from your hand try a different treat or food
He is growing up. When you were a baby your guardians fed you from a spoon now you feed yourself.
MAiBE HE GREW OUT OF iT..HEs STiLL EATiN RiGHT? iF NOT THEN MAiBE YOU SHOULD TAKE iT TO A VET OR SOMETHiNG TO GET HiM CHECKED OUT...BUT MOST LiKELYY HE JUSTT GOT USED TO EATiN HiS FOOD BY HiMSELF..HOPE HEs OKAYY..
Like a few people have said wash you hands first is a good idea. But also check your rabbits teeth! If he's off his food totally check them and if they are long and over grown take him to the vets.
Not all rabbits will eat from you hand, maybe he just doesn't want to any more. If he's health don't worry.
Maybe you ate soemthing before and he doesnt like the smell??Or maybe you should feed him in a bowl..
Hope you feel better!!
you should try and play with your rabbit more times to get him trust you it clearly states that your rabbit is afraid of you.so try and give him nice treats from your hand after u play with him for about 2 to three days zd see what happens
Maybe your rabbit doesnt trust you anymore.
It's alright! He's just not used to you anymore. Either you haven't been hanging around him alot like he used to or you have done something offensive to him.
heres the thing rabbits are like little kids (i know i have one lol) they have there good days and bad days. Maybe he just dousnt want that treat try giveing him something new or just give him a day or 2. Oh and on the patty training thing lol you dont take them out side you get a litter box form your pet store made for rabbits fill it with Critter Litter (safe if he eats it do not use cat litter!) then put some hay on top of that so he will be rewarded when he hops in. Ok now that you know how to make the litter box heres where you put it 1: in his cage in the coner where he uses it the most then put his food, toys, water, house etc. in the other 4 coners this will help him to see thats the bathroom 2: if hes not in a cage (or even if he is this is still a good idea to have 2 litter boxes) put it in the coner of the room where he likes to go bathroom in at 1st he will go infront of it then behind it then in it it takes them time to get it right. but this should help you out a lot with the litter box training go to www.rabbits.org and click on litter box training
