        Hey y’all. I’m a little bit worried about my boy, Sienna. He’s about fourth months old, and generally is a hyper-active bunny. Lately, he’s been less active than he usually is. Like, it’s four o clock in the afternoon right now, and I just let him out of his crate. (I usually let him run around all day.) instead of running o to get in to something, he just eats some food and goes back to lie in his cage. I pet him and he purred, but lately he’s just been sleeping. Right now he’s eating, and he just drank, so there isn’t a lack of water or hunger. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with him? Perhaps he’s just getting calmer? Oh and FYI he isn’t neutered yet.

          It just sounds like he’s maturing and settling in to me.

            I agree with Sarita. That’s around the time I noticed Bumpy slowing down a bit. Then he had a slow and gradual increase in attempts to court me, circling my feet and nipping at my clothes. I know he sprayed one of the cinderblocks being used as a base for his cage on one occasion and the territorial poo ball marking increased a LOT. I chose to neuter him before he got out of control, and within 2 weeks the poo ball area had shrunk in half.

            He’s had a few days where he’s much more active than others, but he’s definitely slowed down on the binkies and bunny 500s.

            OH! I also want to mention. it seems that the MORE TIME Bumpy is allowed to be out (for him it’s anywhere between 12-20 hrs free-roam) the less “excited” he is about being out. He generally exhibits more enthusiasm and energy when his free time is less. I could have him free-range 24/7, but I’ve been dragging my feet about it, for fear of taking away one of the things that he really looks forward to doing. Undecided, though not to his detriment really, since anytime he runs about asking to come out he is instantly granted freedom.

              It sounds like he is just getting a bit older.
              As long as he is eating and pooping normally, it’s no cause of concern.
