Having items with the same scents will be helpful, so when moving, try to salvage and curtains or upholstery, if possible. This can be placed in Frankie’s new cage and habitat to make it seem like home again. While the environment will be different, you and your boyfriend are the sources of security, so while adjusting to a new environment may be tricky, having both of you present and giving off “it’s safe” vibes will help.

In terms of change in schedule, there are a couple things that may help.
1) White noise – especially in a new setting, white noise may be helpful. If you typically watch a TV show or channel while Frankie’s around, try playing the audio of that while you’re gone. I do this with Wick on days when he seems to be going through a lot of separation anxiety with me.
2) Always return happily! It’s good to emphasize that you’ll always come back, so when you do, make sure Frankie knows! Some say when you leave, don’t make a big scene of it and just go, that way, Frankie learns that although you’re not around, you’ll be back eventually.
3) Do some practice runs. Take a day trip somewhere and see how Frankie copes. Go grocery shopping or see a movie, then return and see how he’s doing. You may be surprised to find he’s just hungry, and just doing his own thing.

— I work full-time and Wick’s other parent has returned to classes, so his time with us is much less; nevertheless, he is still quite happy.

You’ll need to be firm with everyone in the house on what to do and not to do. A lot of time, even when informed, family members will disobey because a lot people don’t really internalize how cognizant and aware, as well as sensitive rabbits are. Let them know about things that may scare Frankie, how to interact if needed, what to do and not do towards him (ie. punishing for bad behavior) and everything else, just as you began learning when you got him.
