  Hi,
  
  So I just want some advice please. I’ve had my little rabbit for about a month and a half now and he’s a very happy bun.
  
  He loves to jump on me, play with me and lick me when I’m laying down, however, as soon as I stand up it’s like he doesn’t recognise me and is absolutely petrified of me.
  
  What can I do to gain his trust when stood up?
  
  Thanks

  If he’s young, he is probably just confused by this large figure standing over him. You should just go about your business. Walk slowly around him and talk to him softly. Then you can try crouching down to get to his level. Offer a treat or pets. He will eventually get used the towering human.
