Progress

The new rabbits, Molly and Ella, are still skittish and nervous around me. If I try to pet them, they may sit quietly for a few seconds, but they eventually run away, or one tries to hide behind the other. It's weird because I'm used to the other rabbits, who will climb all over me if I sit down, and often come up to nudge my ankles. Sometimes, though very rarely, one of them will even lick my foot or hand, which is so adorable. I'm hoping the new ones are adjusting okay. We have had a break-through, though. Now, when I shake the treat bag to get them back into their cage, they sort of realize that I want them to go in there. Once they're in there, I give them some treats. I tried holding out my hand for them to see if they would eat from it and Ella did. Molly was too afraid. Now, they both do, and they don't even look nervous. It makes me happy that they are feeling more comfortable. Still anxious for them to get out of the adolescent stage...
