i have had my new bun brian now for two days.. but when i got home he was pushing most of his hay out of his bedroom.
Also i had a cuddle with him for about 5 mins he was nervous and kept biting alittle.. after a while he settled down abit and licked me.

Hello!

When a bunny licks you gently, that means he loves you! :D :D He must be starting to trust you already. :D :wave:
 
my boyfriend was trying to get brian used to him earlier but he was having none of it and kept nibbling him he has sereval holes in his t-shirt
everytime he niblbles i tell him no..
is this right how do i stop him biting :(
 
He is biting because he is communicating that he doesn't like what you're doing. He is probably rather apprehensive being in a new environment with new people. If you are picking him up all the time this is going to make him worse. Rabbits generally don't like being picked up and although they get used to it, trying to do things too quickly is more likely to set you back.

Just stroke him whilst on the floor and get him to trust you. It's possible he won't like being picked up - I know my rabbit doesn't.

Have a search in the forum search engine for tips on handling.
