As per my previous post, my girlfriend got me a rabbit a few days ago and I feel like i’ve been looking after him as best I can. I do work 3/4 times a week but when i’m not at home my girlfriend supervises him free roam in my room as he has a thing about chewing all my wires at the minute 😂 We put him in a nighttime cage (I know probably not the best thing for a rabbit) but it has everything he could need e.g. a bed, a nice hide, a blanket so he isn’t cold, a water bottle attached to the side and unlimited hay aswell. However as soon as I refill his hay or clean out his nighttime cage (I do it daily) he starts to throw around his hay box and make a mess all over the cage again. I just wanted to know if this is normal, if not what can I do to stop this behaviour? He’s only 13 weeks but I have got him registered with my local vets already so I am planning to get him neutered at some point, I’m just not sure of the right age to do so yet. Also the person I got him off has given me some of his food that he was previously eating before I adopted him, I give him this 2 times a day and also fresh water in his bottle and his bowl. I want to know when is it a good time to wean him off the food he’s already eating and introduce some pellets? I gave him some kale last night and he absolutely loved it 🥰 I also wanted to know is it normal for him to nibble/bite me when he is laying on my lap and when I am stroking him, if my arm gets too close to his face he sort of nibbles/bites my arm, I’m not sure what this means but it hurts sometimes and it’s quite upsetting that he doesn’t like me that much 😂
