        He FINALLY got to move in to his permanent home yesterday that I spent a long time setting up and making its a lot of fun for him. He is the adventurous, brave type. I left to run errands and he’s fine when I get back, chillin on the level two (he likes boxes, so I stack them and he climbs/chews his little heart out) of his new place. A friend comes over, he’s fine. I go out for the night and when I come back, its like he transformed into some sort of cute monster!! I was told that rabbits lwill jump onto thigs, but not OVER them. And last night, he tried and tried and tried. He would jump and catch the top of the walls with his front paws! I got out the squirt bottlee and prepared for a long night. I sat there until 2 in the morning monitoring him. And the worst part was, he’d take two or three squirts before giving up. He is so DETERMINED to escape when he is inside there I am nervous to leave him alone now. I probably have to go buy a new TALLER pen for him. Does this ever end and they mellow out when they hit seven months??? Please say yes. Please.

          Sounds like a typical curious rabbit. Will he mellow out when he hits seven months – most likely not, he’s still very young. I say try a higher pen.

            I agree, higher pen or pen cover. Rabbits get bored too and are most active when humans are sleeping so they can seem like monsters.

              He must have viewed it as a challenge to take on in his most active period! I diito a pen cover. Easy to do and less cost to you. If you use somethig like a sheet just be sure that it extended all the way over. I had Jersey bunnysat when younger and I only covered 1/2 the top of a pen with a sheet. She slept on in like it was a hammock and used it to get out and roam around the next morning.

                What height is the pen? Most rabbits won’t jump the 36inch pen, but you have a few adventurous types that need the 42inch. Or you can clip a sheet to the top, or make a cover with NIC grids.
