I'm feeling bad that she may be lonely. I remember reading before that if they don't have a friend it is good to get them a rabbit teddy bear as a sort of companion.. Has anyone else heard this before?
My dads rabbits are both unspayed and they are bonded but they are mother and daughter. That shouldn't make a difference though (Biscuit was an awful mother).

Minion does like to clean my teddies and is particularly fond of a killer whale teddy I got from Sea World. It's not a good substitute though. It actually made me feel sad so I got him neutered and he's getting a friend. It is the interaction they need.

Re: Bunny Behaviour

Lola is the same with regards to sleeping a lot in the day. Sometimes when I open her cage door in the day she won't even come out for a while because she's sleeping haha.

Yes we sleep in the same room. I think I wouldn't feel comfortable having her anywhere else just because that's what I'm used to.. That makes me sound like such a sook Could try putting her somewhere else if she keeps acting up during the nights though. I think I'll start playing tag with her right before bedtime to see if it will tire her out, lol.

I would love to get her a friend.. I've been having the urge to get her one since I found a small animal rescue close to my home.. They have a very large number of rabbits. I don't think I'd get her one until she is spayed, though. As every rabbit she's come across so far she hasn't gotten along with.. I don't want to get another without them both being "done".

The first night I moved him out my bedroom I felt awful but he seemed fine the next morning. He was there throwing his toy against his cage at 6am, as usual, like the world's worst alarm clock.
