Hello, I am new here! I have had a bunny for 7 months, his name is Ky.He is a grey angora. He loves sweets and is an enormous glutton! One thing I am really worried about is whether he gets enough exercise or not. Know that last time we went to the doctor they said he was overweight by 2lbs.

He has a pretty big cage with an upper floor and around a fenced two meter yard (horizontally?). He is a really lazy little bunny. Every time I look at him he’s sprawled out somewhere or sitting down! 

I am also scared of picking him up because I do it too much already and he doesn’t like me much for it. (Understand that for him to go outside of his cage, I have to pick him up. He rarely goes on his own). I try to give him treats sometimes to entice him to come out but it doesn’t work.

Another problem is that I am a student and my family and I are always very busy. I feel like he doesn’t get enough attention from us (so the lazy part might actually be our own fault) and I really want to change that, to make it so that he is comfortable and gets enough exercise!

I feel like I’m a terrible bunnymummy! What can I do to engage him?

(Sorry for post this being all jumbled, there’s a lot I’m worried about!) 

PS: I don’t know how to insert pictures to show you what he looks like.

Thank you for your help!
