Hey.
I've acquired a rabbit for the first time every. I believe it is about 5 weeks old and I've only had him for 3 days now. I have read many guides but am unsure about the behaviour of the lil' bun bun. He runs around freely when I open his cage (he's an indoor rabbit) but during the day he often sits in remote corners and stays there a while. If I place him on my desk he mostly cuddles next to my arm and sits quietly. He also will not return to his cage where he sleeps (at night) but insists on sitting around dark corners of my room (is he scared of me/frightened about something?). He is quite active at night, when we 'play games', but his general inactivity worries me. Also, baby rabbits, I hear, need time to get used to their owners - he licks me, comes to me when I am around, but I'm not sure if, in other cases when I pick him up, he is terrified of me (hence sitting in corners or becoming inactive when I stroke him).
I'm an inexperienced rabbit owner, so forgive me if my questions seem a little paranoid and daft
