Demanding Rabbits

We give our rabbit treats at about the same time every evening, if we forget he starts banging about in his cage and jumping up at the door demanding his treats! Anyone else have bunnies that show this sort of behaviour?

Re: Demanding Rabbits

Yeh, our rabbit is exactly the same, he knows in the morning we are going to give him more veg and starts going mad and leaning on the cage door.

He also climbs up on the bed and tries to eat any food that we are eating, so we cannot leave any food laying about with him there

Re: Demanding Rabbits

Sounds like an "obsession", my vet told me about it when I took mine in for his Myxi jab. I don't feed my rabbit every day because he becomes obsessed with his food and gains a lot of flab, so he only gets some every 2/3 days. He will thump, scratch around the cage door, flick up his food bowl (its one of those really heavy ones, and he's not that big a rabbit lol) and generally shows off when he knows he's gonna get fed again.

Though, I do know that rabbits don't always thump their hind legs through danger, agression and other negative things. They can thump through excitement so maybe your boy is just happy to get treats? With mine, I know he's just moody coz he always is

Re: Demanding Rabbits

He's just a greedy f****r!!! He gets fed every day but a minimal amount as its better for them to graze on hay and grass!
