Max is less than a year old and is a neutered male, he’s definitely got some Netherland dwarf in him and some lop. He’s incredibly timid and shy. When we first got him, he had a bedroom to himself. We needed this bedroom back and I didn’t want to put him outside.
We have put him into an under the stairs cupboard in our kitchen- the cupboard is opposite a window, the door is wedged permanently open so he is never in darkness or not ventilated. It’s still a big area for a rabbit and we open the door to his pen as soon as we get in from work. He hates the stone flooring more than any rabbit I’ve ever met before so we’ve given him a path of mats from his pen to our lounge or the garden and we’ve carpeted his enclosure.
My question is: he has been in his new enclosure for 2 weeks. When he was in the bedroom he would do zoomies every other day, he’d be more receptive of us and let us pet him more, he’d get excited when we put food out for him. In the cupboard he hides most of the time we are in the kitchen, only very occasionally comes out into the lounge and hasn’t done zoomies or binkies at all (except once when I picked him up and put him outside). He still eats and drinks- but he used to scoff his food quickly and now he eats a bit, stops, eats a bit, stops.
I know 2 weeks isn’t that long, but he doesn’t seem to be moving forward. I would like advice on how to make my bunny happy again. I will attach pictures of his setup. His hidey hole is at the back, with his litter tray and hay, his food bowl is at the front and he’s got toys scattered. I never let it get more messy than this so this is it at its worst.
What am I doing wrong ?
