Hi, so i'm probably going to get annoying with all of the questions I have but I'm so new to this being a mummy to a bunny thing and I'm so anxious to get it right and do a good job. I find searching the internet pretty unhelpful as I just get myself worried!
So, first off i'm really worried that he's not going to be warm enough in his hutch! He doesn't burrow in the hay and straw in there he just sits on top in the closed off part....is this because he's warm enough? Or does he just not know to burrow? (I'm really sorry if this sounds silly!)
When I first brought him inside he was really cautious and sort of tiptoed around but he soon seemed more comfortable. Then while he was hopping around the room he started randomly jumping in the air. The only thing I can find online that seems like this is binkying...is it definitely this? Or is there anything else it could be ? He doesn't seem worried, he tends to just tear around the room jumping up high every so often! Then he'll stop and have a scratch or a groom!
Another thing is when I stroke him he flattens himself to the ground and stays really still! Does this mean he doesn't like it or is this just what rabbits do? He doesn't try to run away or anything he just stays still! Then this morning when my partner was in the room for the first time he settled really quickly then ran over to him and rested his head on his feet! He hasn't done this with me not sure why he likes my bf so much
I'm sure I'll have lots more to ask! I'm just really worried that I won't be doing a good enough job!!! He was a lovely surprise as a birthday present but I wish I'd had some time to research and prepare myself!!!
