My bunny tends to eat his if he lets out a dropping in a place he’s not supposed to (that’s not in his room or litter area). For example, it happens sometimes he relaxes and accidentally lets out one on the towel I have in front of my computer if I’ve been petting him for awhile. He usually notices immediately, then ‘cleans up after himself…[Read more]

Does that mean I should be giving her more hay/food? She has a good amount in her litter box but sometimes doesn’t like to eat the older hay that has been sitting out for a few hours.

I think keeping things as familiar as possible would be the best thing you could do. If he is an already nervous bun, then it is understandable to be worried about the move. It may take him a bit of time to get used to the new surroundings. Keeping his routine will help too. That way he will know when to expect food, etc.
