First time rabbit owner-personality(?) questions

[Flower momma]

Hey guys! I have a few questions about my precious Flower. I got him about 1 and a half months ago, he’s around 3 and a half months old. Things seem to be going pretty well for the most part but I have a few questions and maybe need a little reassurance that I am doing a good job because like any new mom I feel like I’m failing my little baby HAHA! Where to start..? So, he will almost always let me approach him and give him pets, again, for almost always as much as I want. However, he never but twice has come seeking me for pets and attention. He is a free roam bunny except for the 4 hours I work a day and at night when I sleep. During his extremely active times (8-9am and 11-12pm) is mostly when in bed watching tv or reading and he’ll run laps and zig-zag all over the bed with me. He listens when I say “no” and will stop whatever it is he’s doing/getting into but he’s just NOT affectionate towards me or really pays that much attention to me at all.. I plan on getting him neutered in a few months and I’m wondering if with that and age if he will grow to be a little bit more loving towards me? I’ll love him no matter what but he’s just so hard to read!

Some rabbits don’t seek out affection, especially if you offer it on your own accord.

Rabbits are notoriously hard to read. But most rabbits do like affection once they’ve become trusting of their human. They often need quite a lot of time for that, so lots of patience is required from the owner’s side =)
