New rabbits taking a long time to adjust

Hi there,
I just got two rabbits/sisters that are bonded and I've had them almost four weeks. They occasionally are in the relaxed position but are afraid to go out of the kitchen, which is where I introduced them.

They still often run from me, but not all the time. Sometimes they do beg for treats. At the shelter, they begged for treats at first meeting.

So they don't seem completely traumatized but seem to be taking a long time to adjust to me and the space. I've spent some time on the floor with them and they have two safe spaces where they both can fit and snuggle.

Any thoughts? Does this seem like a long time to you?

Any advice please
