Hi Everyone :wave:
I'm a new rabbit owner. I've had my 17 week old male rabbit for 2 weeks. He's very sweet and seems to be happy in his surroundings. He runs at full pelt around the garden, lets me stroke him and lets me know he wants attention by nudging me. He binkies in the garden ALOT . He climbs on my lap when I'm sitting on the floor and seems generally trusting and happy.
For the last couple of days he's been doing something new. When I am cleaning his cage or putting food or fresh hay in he stops what he is doing, runs over to me and starts tugging at my jeans with his teeth and scratching at my legs. It's almost like he doesn't want me anywhere near his cage. I can only stop him by stroking him and moving away from the cage. When I clean the cage out I never clean out everything all at once so that he still has his own scent inside. Does anyone have any clues why he's started doing this? I hope he's not going to get all moody and aggressive. I really want him to be happy because I love him to bits.
Would be grateful for any thoughts. Thank you
