Question
i've had a male  rabbit for a while. he's shy, and i want to know how he will get used to me?  thanks.

Answer
Hi Sophie,
Spend time with your rabbit, sit on the floor and let him come to sniff you then pet him, feed him treats, stroke him. Then when he's used to you lift him up and put him on your lap, you can then groom him or just stroke him. Feed him a treat everytime he lets you stroke or hold him, he will know that when he's nice to you you're nice back.
Hope this helps
Katie
