Hi,

I've had by two boys for three weeks now. To begin with they were terrified of me, worrying that I would pick them up, so I stopped that and slowly they started to trust me and just hop from their hutch into the carrier for me to bring them inside and pet them.

Yesterday they had their first jabs and now they hate me again. All the trust has gone and it's back to square one where they run and hide when i go near them. They won't hop into the carrier any more and I have been told by the vets I HAVE to pick them up everyday.

What's the best way forward from here? I find it difficult to actually pick them up from inside the hutch, they run away quicker than I can catch them and scramble over my hands. They end up very stressed and I feel rotten.

Any tips welcome.
