  This morning when I reached in Ty’s cage to get the water bowl and refil it, he half jumped half thumped, making sort of a stomping sound.
  
  I think bunnies do that when they’re mad? And latley he’s been quite anti-social with me and and wants nothing from me except a clean litter-box, food and water.
  
  He’s fine with a couple pets, but only for like, 20 seconds. What can I do to make him more attach to me?
  
  Also, he’s only 10 weeks old,so he’s too young to neuter.

  Patience!
  
  He’s only 10 weeks old! But he obviously knows what he likes and doesn’t like ! Lol! He’s telling you that he doesn’t like his space invaded – even though you are only trying to keep him fed and healthy – his instinct is to guard his territory. Try to reach into his cage to clean things while he’s out hopping around. Neutering will help calm down the territorial stuff, and showing him you respect his space will build trust over time and he’ll feel more relaxed with you.

  Hi 412854eah – I will help answer your question, but in the future you need to start your own threads instead of piggybacking off another members thread. If you need help starting your own post with your own questions, let us know.
  
  First of all, your rabbit is at an age where getting him neutered will help.
  
  Also you should never reach in a rabbit’s home and try to get them out – that is invasive – better to let them come out of their home on their own.
