They are mad

[SavyCavyGirl]

So I just had to take my Luna girl to the vet and she is very skittish she had a respiratory infection and is extremely annoyed when I have to syringe feed her. My other girl Roxi I had to make sure she sounded good and they are both SUPER mad at me. I usually pick them up using a hidey because it causes less trauma. But now they are too scared to go into hideys with bottoms on them. Will they eventually forgive me or will they always be frightened?

Yes, they are spooked out and will forget. We use our cosies to collect and they will go back into them - time is a healer

They will soon forgive you. Just go gently with them and keep giving them herby treats during and after handling .

Awesome thank you both! I’ve been extra spoiling them- buying new hideys LOTS of treats and they seem to have forgiven me
