Buns are more active at night. One thing that may help is giving him his greens and a big helping of hay at your bedtime so that he’s occupied with eating while you are falling asleep.
Also, if he’s free-roam during the day, why are you caging at night? Is there a hazard in the room you could remove so he could at least free-roam your room with you at night? That’s what our bun does in my son’s room – she’s shut in with him but can bounce through the entire room. Good luck.

let him free roam 24/7. I got my bun at 8 weeks old, she’s a year now and has been free in my house since she was 4 months old. until then she free roamed during the day, then I would put her in her cage at night which I was lucky and she didn’t seem to mind. she still takes naps in her cage and eats her food there, her litter box is next to her cage. I have a 4 bedroom house which I bunny proofed, but I also taught my bun from an early age to leave things alone that she is not supposed to mess with, (she’s very smart) but the best tips I can give is are these: I have a hay station in every room which is a cardboard box placed upside down so it has a roof and a opening for her to go in it and munch hay and hide. I have toys for her laying around the house so she keeps busy, I have small night lights in a few rooms so I can see her if my wife or I need to get up for something. I go to bed every night at 10:30, she will come in my room and hop on my bed then hop to my nightstand on her blanket and snooze there until midnight, then I can hear her binky through the house (crazy bunny) but most nights she’s very quiet, she wakes me up at 5:00 a.m. with kisses on my nose as she wants her breakfast, then she plays throughout the house until noon then she goes in her cage on her own and sleeps until 6:00 p.m. sorry for the long story but the point is give the bunny things to occupy himself. I leave empty toilet paper rolls stuffed with hay in them in a few rooms also and she plays with them. since then she has never been locked in a cage, only her pet carrier every 3 months for her vet checkup.

That’s when bunnies are most active. Yes that’s why he’s being a brat. Bunnies typically lounge around from 10am-5pm there abouts and usually get very active anytime between 8-10pm and stay that way usually for a good couple of hours. He’s caged during him prime energy time.

Hi there, welcome

Tatertot is a super cute name

Can you give him an extension to his cage so he isn’t so cooped up in a small area when he is most active? Many people have an x-pen attached to their buns’ cages so they basically have a front yard to run in when they get bursts of energy.

Or potentially set up a gate to block your bedroom door, since it sounds like you are mostly worried about him escaping, assuming that area is safe for him to be in unsupervised?

Exactly on the door gate. We just simply shut the bedroom door and they do fine.
