  Hello bunny community!
  
  We have recently moved from a city flat to a lovely cottage in the countryside and I have noticed quite a change in my bunnies’ behaviour!
  
  In the flat, my rabbits were incredibly active and destroyed almost all carpet or furniture that they could lay their eyes upon. We even made them cardboard box forts that they shredded to bits every week. However, they seemed very happy there, binkying and zooming around the flat frequently.
  
  We’ve moved to the countryside recently and have been here for over a month now – and the bunnies are just SO MUCH LESS destructive! They have only destroyed one big cardboard box since being here and floop happily a lot more. I have even discovered that my bunnies can purr so loudly! They purr almost all day long – except when they are eating or playing.
  
  Could it be that the city apartment was causing them more stress than our countryside home? The apartment was medium-sized and definitely not cramped – especially because they had full roam of it.

  It sounds lovely!
  
  It wouldnt be so far-fetched to think that the city environment is more stressful for buns – in a city there’s always noise and nights are never completely dark. It doesnt sound like it’d be about space -more some sort of 24/7 city energy?
  
  If your buns were young while you were living in the city, the move to the cottage could perhaps have coincided with them reaching adulthood?
  
  It sounds like their more hsrmonious now, which is great 😃
