        For some reason, my rabbit gets scared of coming out of his room… He’ll poke his head out, then quick run back to the safety of his room. I sometimes put him in his carrier and take him into the other rooms, but when I let him out and he’s done exploring, he doesn’t know how to get back in the door that leads to his room. I’ll leave it wide open for him and he goes up to the door and just sits there too afraid to go in. Also, why does he always stay along the walls? He doesn’t usually go in the middle of the room.

          New rooms are like whole new worlds with new smells and sounds and some bunnies find that scary. You could try putting a treat or two just outside his door to entice him out little by little so he can explore at his own pace.

          Once he starts getting a feel for the new spaces and has a chance to “map” the place out and establish his “escape route”, you may wish he had just stayed in his room! (Beware of bunny 500’s throughout the house!)

            Maybe try to put a few boxes out with holes cut in the sides so Oliver can run under them if he gets scared. That way a big new room won’t seem so scary, because he knows he has different places to hide. And take you time, some bunnies take longer to come out of their shells. Kraken didn’t let us even touch him for the first 4 months we had him.
