Lennie has been with me for a week now and his behaviour today has been a bit different. When I am here, I leave his hutch door open so he can come and go and up until today, he spent most of the time out of the hutch (under the sofa mostly) but also having a run around. Today he has spent most of the time in the hutch and 3 times he covered himself totally with hay and stayed there :-\ He hasn't done this before. Also, he has not eaten that much of his veggies, although he has eaten hay and his dried food.
I know I have only had him a week, but he wont let me stroke him yet (maybe he never will) and will climb on my lap to be hand fed but not for cuddles. I have not attempted to pick him up yet as I do not want to freak him but I am going to have to sooner or later just for things like trimming his nails and checking him over. I hope he is not stressed out with his move and the change as he is around people a lot more than he was before, where he was more or less ignored. Any ideas?
Thanks, Fiona
