Just got back from a 7 day absence during which both bunnies have been fed and watered regularly. While my long-term resident Sharik responds to such absences by being extremely grumpy and unapproachable for a day or so, I'm a bit worried about King's reaction.
When I put him back into his cage (he jumped in himself to eat) he went completely ballistic and started running and jumping around, making a complete mess and chewing the bars to get out. While this second bit is not unusual, he appeared really, really stressed, but when I let him out, he seemed to calm down, and binkied around the living room. While he has been eating in my absence, he also seemed to go mental with the food when I was watching and eating like there is no more food to be had ever, but whereas if I leave, he just retreats behind the armchair, only to emerge again and start eating and binkying when I come back and sit down.
Has he just missed the safety and loving company of his human, or could there be something else that is stressing him out?
