I will try and keep this short ;D but I am soooo thrilled! Barney ate from my hand today!!!!!  Sad to get excited about it I know,  but training has been slow as the buds are approx a yr old already. AND, I wanted to get them used to home and each other before training started so that they felt secure. They have of course had to get used to my hands in the cage for cleaning etc. And I have been putting my hand in there and got quite close to Barney without any fuss. But today he was a SUCCESS! So HOORAY! I am a very happy bunny  |

Thanks Marianne! I am so tickled pink about it! He does sing to me and respond to me well so I knew it would only be a matter of time. Wiggins is still the nervy one out of the two but once we get one, I know the other is sure to follow Hooray for millet ;D |

Fantastic! It's an amazing feeling when you feel that trust building. Good boy, Barney. Wiggins is surely not far behind now.
