        Hi everyone I recently adopted two new bunnies to bond with my other bunny who recently lost this partner. He has been free range for four years and follows me everywhere. I bonded the three together for 2 weeks inside a pen and they are now fully bonded which I am so pleased about. But they will not leave the area in the lounge where their litter tray, cardboard house etc are. They do not follow my other bunny. To get them to go in the garden I have to carry them and they don’t seem to know how to get back in or out. Once they are out in the garden they run about and explore everywhere but they just do not do this inside. What can I do to make them less nervous and more interested in exploring other rooms and getting them to learn how to get in and out of rooms and the garden? Thanks so much.

          Give them time. If they respond to their names or get overly excited about a specific treat …go to the next room and shake the bag to get them to come to you. Slowly go further and further and they will come. Patience
