  Oh dear me … perhaps he wants his cage back and is not happy with his new ‘home’ and having things moved around may have upset him.
  
  I’d try giving him his cage back (that is, if you still have it).

  Hi! I would agree with Dawn, he probably feels like his "burrow" has been taken away, and maybe now thinks that the whole apartment is his territory to "defend." It is very nice of you to let him have the run of the whole apartment, but I would recommend letting him keep his cage, but keep the door open. Try that for a few days and see if that repairs his attitude! Also, bunnies are not so good with change, so he may just be adjusting to the new arrangement, so giving him his cage back might help him get used to the new furniture arrangements and such!

  Is Omi neutered yet?
  Sweet bunny tranforming from Mr. Hyde into Mr. Jekyl is often a sign of puberty.
  
  If he is already neutered, then I’d follow the advice shared above about allowing him to have his cage back so he feels safer and has less territory to defend.Boy bunnies can be aggressive toward people if they feel their territory is too crowded, which may be what’s going on..

  He probably feels his "space" was eliminated so he is just upset. If you give him something back he should return to normal.
  
  Buns hate change. They are definitely creatures of habit!

  well,
  he is still psycho..biting out of nowhere..
  i bought those little cubcle thingies and built another cage..
  he seems excited about it.because while i was building it he keeps on trying to
  stand and do the telescope stand..whatever u wannna call that…
  
  i hope this works and will bring him back to the same sweet little omi i used to have.
  ill keep u guys updated..
  
  oh wait..
  you think his agressivenes is the effect of a medicine i bought him to
  drink so their pee will not stink too bad???
  
  thanks

  ok – I just looked back through your posts and read that you did have him neutered – so hopefully giving him a home base again will cut back on his aggression. let us know if it helps…
