  I was hoping to get anyone’s experience on moving homes with a house rabbit. My french lop is apparently not pleased and keeps nipping me. We have been in the new apartment for 3 days now, my younger rabbit seems to be perfectly fine and behaving normally.
  
  The c&c cage they are temporarily in is 2×6 and the rest of it is still being worked on, he’s got plenty or room, he won’t come out to for free time cause he appears to be sulking, the pellets/hay is the same, his fleece is the same, he’s plenty cool and has several pieces of marble to lay on should he get warm, veggies daily and is pooping and peeing normally. He’s simply not pleased.
  
  I am an adult and I adopted Beluga 3 years ago as an adult, Duncan his best friend is about a year and a rex/lionhead…he’s pleased as punch even asked to be picked up yesterday.
  
  How long is he going to be mad for? I know every rabbit is different but a general idea of how long it takes a rabbit to settle in.
  
  Any thoughts?

  Do you have any fleece that smells like him or the old place? Like a couch pillow you can give him to lay on? Maybe buns who move and smell all these new smells can become very scared and uneasy, if you had a candle you lit that he’s used to, maybe to do that for a bit and that will help him(but of course not too close)
