        I see people who have bunny rooms. Lola lives in my bedroom with me and there wouldn’t be a room to make a bunny room. He lives in two big dog crates together normally. It’s the size of my bed actually. It’s not as much room as I wish I could give him. Actually, I wish he could be a cageless bun but…he’s way to naughty and I wouldn’t trust it. I’ve opened his cage to let him play and lots of times he runs for a minute, loafs around for 30 minutes and then goes back in his cage. I know he needs at least 2 hours to run but then he spends 45 minutes of that time laying around!

        I know generally people have more than one bunny. I just have Lola. I couldn’t handle two rabbits. I don’t think Lola is lonely. He lives in my bedroom​ and I’m at home 97% of the time. If I’m not home my mom usually is. Someone is almost always with him or around the house.

        He doesn’t care about toys which makes me feel sad. I know it’s just his personality but what if he’s bored and it’s because he doesn’t have toys? I’ve tried everything and all he goes for is a cardboard tube with a treat folded inside.

        I know overall he does have a good life. He’s really bonded with me and I have with him. He’s not like my neighbors bunny’s who lived in a hutch and one got out and ran away and the other was around a big dog it had never meet (they thought it had meet the dog, like how do you not know) and it got too scared and died. He’s not like my friends rabbit who is really territorial of it’s cage and is afraid because five dogs live in the same house and the dogs are always barking and flipping out. My friend also has other small animals in the same room so with all that her rabbit isn’t very happy. (I regret showing her my rabbit because he influenced her decision to get one. But I didn’t know about all the dogs.)

        It’s just even with knowing buns in worse situations I wish I could always give my bunny better.

          They need way more than two hours exercise. That would mean in a 24 hour period, she’s stuck in a small cage for 22 hours. That’s not acceptable.

          With a little ‘remodelling’ a bunny could easily be free roam. It really doesn’t take much and it allows them to run and binky whenever the mood strikes.

            I guess I should add I live with six year olds who randomly open doors and it wouldn’t be safe for them to be able to get to him. They scare him enough half the time. Not everyone is in a perfect situation where they have control over how everyone in the house will handle or listen and not handle your rabbit. I wish it was how the world worked but…it’s not.

            I once had to live in a room big enough for just a bed with him so things are much better for him now.

            Thanks for the reply.

              Can you put a lock on the door? Even a latch that it out of a 6 year old’s reach?

                I know when mine have floor time they tend to have a really active burst and then choose their favourite spot on the carpet to snooze. Do you have stairs? My buns all love racing up and down stairs, and stairs are free of key bunny dangers like electric cables. Is there a time say in the evening when the youngsters can be told to settle down to watch tv/colour/play in their rooms, so bun can play out on the stairs supervised? A small kitten tree makes a great work out for buns that will use them. Another idea, when you get a delivery in a nice size cardboard box, cut out two holes on different sides that are just big enough for bun to get through, most buns love to improve on their humans simple design, which provides hours of noisy fun, the second hole is important as all buns like a back door!

                  I think we all feel like that at times, seeing other people’s setups, and sometimes we all have times where we get busy and can’t let them out as much etc even though we try. I think it’s good in a way because it lets you know that you want the best for your buns and are trying to do better, but it’s not good to dwell on it I don’t think.

                  It sounds like Lola has a good sized cage, two big dog crates provide quite a bit of space. My buns also spend a lot of their open cage time just lounging around. Due to their nature, rabbits are most active around early morning and late evening, so perhaps letting him out around those times to run around would be better than if you’re having the cage open during the middle of the day when he is less likely to be active. If he’s comfortable lounging around in his cage I wouldn’t think he was bored, if he was bored in his cage he would be more likely to be destructive and chew at the bars etc. Different toys are also preferred by different buns, so trying out different things can help too. My pair have cardboard tubes, plastic stacking cups, plastic baby keys, cat tunnel, dolls bed, kids bowling skittles to knock over, wood chews, willow balls, wood bendy bridges, cardboard boxes and so on. Every rabbit is different

                    I def agree with Az. It sounds as if you are doing the best in the circumstances.
                    Mine were in a dog crate for a while and they are prob 5 times the size of yours !!! LOL

                    I had a dog in a small appt for 2 years and you’ll always get people tut tutting, but i know she got TONS more love, attention and walks than some dogs who live in a big house with a big garden (“theyve got a big garden, they don’t need walks” !!! YES they do…..!!)

                    Anyhoo, if you spend quality time with Lola and he gets out for jumps, binkies and cuddles every day, i think thats just fine.

                    When you’re older (like a few of us on here! Lol) you’ll be able to treat your animals to a bigger and more ideal living space.

                    (My neighbours have a small bun in a guinea pig cage indoors. Sometimes you can’t change the world.. but i give the neighbours willow leaves and dandelion leaves when i go foraging so the bun can enjoy them too )

                      Hello lavender,

                      I don’t mean to be rude, but I think it is a little unfair to confine the rabbit to a cage in one room. I understand that you have children around and you are concerned for the safety of the rabbit, so my suggestion would be to try to train him to be outside of the cage, so he could at least roam the room. I understand you are afraid of bad chewing habits, but I have a few suggestions that you may use to “bun proof’ the room so he can be out more. I am new to rabbit owning as well, but my rabbit is only 17 weeks and she’s very good so I let her roam my entire apartment, except for the bathroom.

                      Before I even got her, I cleared out my dining room to be completely empty. I took my table and put it in my walk in closet and designated that room as her room (since I only have a 1 bedroom apartment). I bought a couple of baby gates off of amazon and I blocked off access to the kitchen and the living room. It was a little bit of a pain to have to hurdle over the gate every time I needed to go into the kitchen or her room, but I wanted to get her settled in her own space and then introduce her to other sections of the apartment once I had bun proofed them. Since I live in an apartment, I was worried about her chewing up the baseboards and the damage that I would be responsible for, so I looked to baseboard covers. I soon learned that they are more expensive than I originally thought… BUT, I managed to find an alternative. I went to Lowes (you can find them at Home Depot also) and found wooden corner moulding. Its basically a piece of wood several feet long that is shaped like a right angle. (I will attach a picture). I bought some putty, made some measurements and used a small hacksaw to cut the pieces to fit around the entirety of the room. Then, just stick several pieces of the putty inside the wood and press it along the top “corners’ the baseboards and voila! I don’t know if it is because I did this when she was young or if she is just a good rabbit, but she has not developed a habit of chewing the baseboards (yet, though she is still young).

                      She eventually learned she could jump over the baby gate, but in your situation you only have the one room so you wouldn’t need to blockade him. I do think that getting him out of the cage more and letting him be free in the room would at least be an improvement from his current situation.

                      If you are worried about chewing the furniture, try buying some bitter spray made to deter pets and rubbing it on the edges to discourage chewing. I have heard lemon oil also works, but I have not tried either of these as my bun does not chew on my furniture thus far. Also, from your profile it looks as though he is not neutered. I am not sure to what extent it actually affects their behavior because my bun has not gone through the process yet, but I have heard that fixing them can help with destructive habits. Even if that’s not the case, he will live longer and healthier if you spay him because it will significantly reduce the risk of reproductive cancers (although I think this is more common in females). I would look into rabbit rescues in your area, as mine provides a voucher to get a spay/neuter for only $65- I called the vet and without the voucher it was $150 for the operation.

                      You can just use any kind of wall putty such as mighty putty or I think Gorilla brand makes a heavy duty putty. One thing to make sure is that you secure them very well. Once one fell off and bun went over to chew up the putty, luckily I noticed immediately and added more putty to secure it. Here is the link to the home depot website where you can see what I mean by the baseboard covering:

                      http://www.homedepot.com/p/Alexandr…/205917008

                      I sure hope you can figure something out, because I think bun would be much happier with room to roam about!

                      Oh I had to edit this post because I forgot to include that you should make sure the wood is UNTREATED in case the bun decides to chew on that wood. My rabbit never even chewed on the wood so I ended up taking them all off lol.

                      If you would like me to send you pics of the room so you get an idea of what I was talking about I can see if I still have pics of what it looked like when I was done.

                        Firstly, IMO cages together to make the size of a human bed is not too small. That’s a adacute space for your bunny so I wouldn’t worry about that. Also 2 hours out is fine for some bunnies – I let mine out for 4 hours but only one of mine utilisises it – the other spends 40mins max and the rest he just lays around and does nothing which would be the same in his cage or out.

                        Also I have children I cannot let run around with my bunnies too – and I did take that into consideration – and my bunnies free time is in large pens to keep them safe.

                        I know no matter wha anyone says that my boys and happy and loved and well cared for whether they choose to utilise their free time or not. Whether they have a bunny room or a cage. Whether they have a few more limitations for having children around or not.

                        A few suggestions would be you could add a playpen to the cage for Safer play?
                        Or maybe 7pm-till you go to bed have free time for him as the 6year old will probably be sleeping then so it’s safer

                          As far as toys go it may be that his taste is unique … I have one that loves hideaways and step stools only – won’t play with anything he can’t hide in or jump off.
                          My other one is the opposite – he hates going into anything , doesn’t like jumping on things either. But he loves plastic baby cups , open cat beds , baby keys , and most rabbit toys from petstores

                          I had one in the past that only liked cardboard ( toilet tubes , boxes etc )

                          It could be that you’ll need to experiment with a variety of things first

                            Hi Lavendar,

                            I think we all feel this way sometimes that we aren’t providing the absolute best life for our rabbits. Sometime I even wonder to myself is it cruel to have a rabbit as a pet in the first place! But I love my rabbit to death and provide the best of food, as much space as I can etc etc.

                            You say you wish he could have his own bunny room – but as he is a single bun (mine is too) – I actually think it is better that he is a smaller space in your bedroom – it means he has more contact with you and that probably prevents boredom and loneliness. 2 hours outside his cage isn’t ideal – I’ve read different ‘minimum limits’ from different websites etc but I like to try and ensure 4 or 5 hours at a minimum. The reality is that people have busy lives and sometimes routines don’t go to plan. Theo lives in a large enclosure when noone’s home, and has free roam of our downstairs when someone’s home. Sometimes at the weekend he only goes into his pen between midnight and 7am, other times he might only get 3 hours out if we’re both really busy on a very odd occasion, it’s the reality of a busy life. As long as you ensure your rabbit is happy and healthy.

                            I would try and increase the time he is outside the cage, would it be possible to bunny-proof e.g. a kitchen or living area so that he could join you in the evenings for a couple of hours and then have a couple of hours roaming your room before bed? That would improve his quality of life, especially given that they sleep most of the day and are more active at night. If your mom is sometimes home when you’re not would she be willing to let him roam e.g. kitchen when you’re not home and watch him? Kitchens are often easier to bunny proof than other areas as there tends to be less wires etc. I know it’s difficult with 6 year olds running about the home but it would be good to have them spend some time supervised with your rabbit to understand the proper way to treat a pet rabbit, teaching them to pet him on the floor instead of trying to pick him up etc etc.

                            My rabbit doesn’t like many kinds of toys either, you should experiment and I’ll bet you find one he loves. Theo loves willow balls but ignores almost all other kinds of toys. Other things you can do include hiding his pellets in his hay at feeding time. Not so much a toy but it will add enrichment to his life – allowing him to use his natural foraging instincts. I have seen people use clothes pegs to hang greens in the pen making it more of a challenge to eat them – again adding a little enrichment and amusement.

                            I also think time out of cage and quality time out of cage are different. If you have to allow him out for a shorter time one day get down on the floor and interact with him – play with him and pet him etc. 2 hours of interaction is a small amount in a day so make it count if it must be that short otherwise bunny will definitely get lonely and be craving some interaction.

                            Do you have a garden you could put a large pen in to allow him to run around in temperate weather? (depending on the climate where you live)

                            There are lots of options – don’t beat yourself up it is a good thing that you are caring about how much time he gets out of his cage etc

                              Some good suggestions people have already given in getting you closer to how you want things for Lola. (btw, I love that his name is Lola. Just like the song).

                              What are some of the real problem habits he has when he’s out of the cage? I read in the profile chewing cords and walls were a couple. Is there other things?
                              Maybe we can brain-storm how to bunny proof (or Lola-proof ) enough to overcome some of the issues.

                              My rabbits are not really into toys either. Although, after cleaning last night, my single rabbit decided to roll the bell-balls around for a bit. He’d rather chew on items that don’t move though, so baseboards are appealing. I think covering them with safe wood and letting them have at it is not a bad idea. Provided you can put up with the gnawing sound at all hours. Otherwise, cover with something that cannot be chewed but then provide something heavy that he can chew on. Like a wooden hidey house perhaps? It’s something that you can put up and away if he’s chewing at it when you’re trying to sleep. I just remembered a thing a member here once made using birch logs that they joined together standing upright. Something like that could be appealing for your boy. I’ll see if I can find the picture and add it here.

                              To your original question, the thread title, I feel like that often. I feel like they may not be stimulated enough. But over the years when Ive attempted different things, they’ve failed to gain their interest. I think I’ll always feel like Im not providing enough for my pets.

                              It’s a real shame about your friends rabbit. It crossed my mind that if she decided she couldn’t keep the rabbit, that perhaps you could take it as a companion for Lola -both would need to be desexed of course. But there is no guarantee they’d bond and then you’d be looking at having to provide for 2 rabbits housed separately in your space.

                                I meant to ask; what type of flooring do you have in the bedroom?

                                  I always feel like I’m not providing enough for my pets. When I tell people, they tend to laugh at me in disbelief. But I always have this feeling, and it’s part of my personality, I think. Always wanting to do more, be a better pet owner, girlfriend, daughter, sister etc.

                                  I think it can be much better for a bunny to live in a bedroom with his human than to have a bunny room all to himself. Rabbits love company. They don’t always do much, but I see that in the wild bunnies around here as well. They tend to lie on the grass together, a few yards apart, they might have a nibble, or they lie with their hind legs straight out behind them just like our house bunnies do. It seems to be some sort of social activity, but a very quiet and relaxed one, not involving much of what we’d call being active.

                                  The only toy my Bam is interested in is the treat ball, and only for as long as there are treats left in it. He likes his tunnels a lot, and he lounges a lot on his bunk bed. But he’s never really played with anything. He sometimes likes to dig in his fleece blankies. I have only had him since he was an adult though, baby buns of course play more.

                                    Sometimes I feel this way, too. Especially since I don’t have much money and my baby is confined to my bedroom. So I can sympathise. All I had room for was one medium sized dog crate but have him out for the entire day. I don’t know if it’ll be much better, but I treated it similar to how I would train a puppy, especially since I have carpeted floors.

                                    For the first few weeks I was on his butt at all. times. I could sit at my computer, but I had to have one headphone off and whenever I heard him I turned to look to see what he’s doing. He never got the chance to dig at the carpet or pull on it or do a single poop without me knowing and deflecting it. Which was exhausting… very very exhausting… Especially having to take care of a disabled mother and several other pets. And if I wasn’t there to be on his butt, in the crate until I came back.

                                    I can say with confidence after that, he’s not perfect… but I have no chewed carpets. No pee everywhere. A poop or two to toss into the litterbox and I can go to the store and leave him out with some confidence. Sometimes he wants to pull at the carpet when he’s overly excited but he’s quick to stop the behaviour. Every rabbit is different, but it might be possible.

                                    I learned that using clear packing tape on corners of things make it too slippery for them to want to chew it and hard to peel off since its so thin.
                                    If you’re in the States, there’s a website called Chewy that I’ve looked at tall baby gates that open like a fence (you don’t have to nail them in, it uses pressure) and there are carabiner clips that can lock into place so that may help with the little ones. If the rabbit is small enough to slip through the bars, there’s a semi-invisible fencing people use to pet-proof their porches (I have to find the name! I can’t remember at the moment) that can be put together with just some wirecutters/scissors and it comes with zipties. Put it on the opposite side of the rabbit so that they can’t get traction from it. If the tall gate still isnt tall enough, you can extend the length with storage cube grids with some zipties. Large cords can go in a tall plastic rubbish bin and they sell those thick wire protectors at Staples for $12 that you can cut with scissors. You can also hide these with storage cubes and zipties.

                                    Sorry, that was super long and A LOT of information, some that’s probably repeated and maybe some that some people may not find ideal. I hope that’s helpful at least a little bit to make things more manageable with what you have. I get it – you use what you’ve got. Maybe you can feel a little better about letting him out and about more often <3 I believe you can make it work!

                                    *** I wanted to edit to say I’m by no means a rabbit expert or even an experienced handler. So everything is with a grain of salt here. I thought I’d share my experience and what I’ve had to do to accommodate the both of us on a tight budget and tight space!

                                      I like jerseygirl’s suggestion about brainstorming how to help you bunny-proof your room. Could you tell us what Lola does specifically when you say he is being naughty? Is it chewing? Marking?

                                          Hey everyone.
                                          Sure I’ll post some things to brainstorm.
                                          I had to take a break from the forum after some…less than desirable comments. It happens.

                                          I think everyone is right about him being with me is good socially. My little sister just got her own room next to mine but she spends 70% of the time in here with me and Lola He’s taken to giving her kisses too now.

                                          All together I think I definitely let him out more than two hours. It was really just a random figure. It’s much much more than that but…yeah.

                                          I’ve tried all the toys suggested. I even set up a box a few days ago for him to play with…he just doesn’t like toys. He has a snack shack and he plays with it once her gets it into small parts.

                                          He likes to dig blankets but only on my bed and he loves hiding under it.

                                          When I let him out he runs some but usually flops around.He’s a big lazy bun.

                                          He doesn’t chew furniture really anymore. Baseboards he used to chew on but he quit randomly. I’ve got all the wires where he can’t get them. I have carpet though and he’s take to trying to rip it all out it’s odd. But again I get on him about it like Lola stop.

                                          On top of the kids I just don’t trust him to be out without supervision. So many things can go wrong. He’s got maybe 6-7 full hops in his cage if not more. Again just a guess.

                                          I know getting him fixed would be good but I just can’t do that to him. I had a friend with a dog who was neutered. Best dog ever, happy go lucky, social. Then the dog got neutered. You wouldn’t have even thought it was the same dog. She became skittish, aggressive, the total opposite of what she had been.She guessed something has gone wrong with fixing her but in the end nobody not even vets could figure it out.
                                          I just couldn’t risk it. Lola is a very happy bunny. Flops around, gives lots of love, blinkies a ton. Even it the risk is 1% that’s too much for me. I’d rather Lola be himself his whole life and maybe have his life be alittle shorter than live longer and be miserable.

                                          I know what people might say to that but that’s how I feel about it.

                                          Lola will actually go in his cage a lot when the door is open for play time. Dunno what’s up with that but he must like his cage.

                                          I’m hoping at some point I will be able to buy an RV or something and have him out all the time then. For a while I was able to do that and he loved it. But life happened and don’t have that ability now.

                                          Thank you all who left kind replies. I hope I can get back to being on the forum but I’m definitely a little gun-shy I suppose now.

                                            I hope I was not offensive in my post. I didn’t mean to be rude at all. I wanted to offer some solutions so that maybe he could be out of the cage a little more. I bought my rabbit a huge cage, like I am 5ft 10 and I can fit inside this cage! But I still feel bad putting bun in there even when I have to, such as when maintenance comes to do work in my apartment. If you have found a solution to the exposed wires and he isn’t chewing much then I think it would just be nice to get him out of the cage a bit more. My bun doesn’t like many toys either, I’ve tried a ton of stuff. I found she does like baby toys, I got her this little elephant stuffed animal that had rubber material feet and she liked chewing that up and tossing it around (wasn’t able to get any pieces bitten off so it was safe). I also purchased some stacking cups that are baby toys and she likes taking them out of the stack and tossing them around. Perhaps you could try some logic toys, my bun loves to play with her new logic toy because she knows she’s going to get treats!

                                            About the neutering, I understand your concern that it will change the temperament of bun. I had the same concern. I had a cat once and she completely changed when she got fixed. But you do have to remember that cats and dogs are different from rabbits, and each cat, dog, or bun is different. I have decided to go ahead with the procedure because, for the most part, I have not come across any horror stories of getting the bun fixed. I am not by any means telling you what to do, just offering a perspective that it may not be worth completely throwing it out as an option. You may get better input from more experienced bun owners here on the topic of spaying/neutering.

                                            I’m glad that you want to improve conditions for bun if you can, and again, I apologize if I was offensive in my reply. By no means should you be berated when asking for help.

                                              Obviously, it is entirely your choice whether you chose to have him neutered or not. I just want to add my 2 pence.
                                              Neutering in male rabbits really is a very minor procedure and the chance of anything going wrong is really very low. As with everything there is a certain amount of risk obviously, but it is comparatively low especially compared to a female spay. There isn’t the risk of uterine cancer in males (obviously) which needs fixing to prevent, but male rabbits who are neutered are generally more content (they don’t have all those unspent hormones buzzing about), better behaved and more sociable and just more chilled out. Theo is a different rabbit since we got him neutered. He used to bite and hump and not be very sociable, at at times be restless and resort to chewing our furniture. Since he was neutered he is so much more content, never bites, will come lie beside me on the sofa for cuddles and is much happier.
                                              Just consider it, as I said it is obviously entirely your choice as his owner

                                                Don’t be gun shy here the issue last night has been taken seriously as it is a non tolerance for snarky comments forum – those comments have been deleted and I’m sure you will find a lot of great info here as I have

                                                On the neutering , I totally get seeing a bad experience can put you off – but it’s a minority – you shouldn’t let a minority be a deciding factor overall imo. There are many many worse occurances for not neutering than for neutering. I really do recommend considering it as for males it is a easy procedure , fast recovering and can greatly improve his life. Something to consider
                                                That bad experience is a minority – kind of like deciding not to let being gunshy on the forum be ruled by a minority had experience – binkybunny has a lot of great advice and experience to offer – as well as ADORABLE bunnies to see photos of and share experiences of
                                                Your best bet would be to discuss your particular bunny with his vet – his health – his age – his behaviours – his risks of not being neutered – his risks with being neutered – way up the pros and cons for his particular situation and make your descision as his owner by what is best for him

                                                What’s a “snack shack ” ? I’ve never heard of it so keen to be enlightened !

                                                  Luna isn’t much into toys either, but there are times when she will all of a sudden want to play with certain toys so I just make sure a bunch of different kinds of toys are out for her at all times.

                                                  When Luna isn’t playing outside of her cage, if she is laying around outside of her cage then I’ll usually lay with her and pet her. Sometimes she will hop back in her cage and lay there too, but if I’m home I’ll still leave the cage door open for her in case she changes her mind .

                                                    A snack shack is a log shaped treat made of alfalfa and some other stuff. It’s hard. Like concrete. I have no clue how he demolishes them.

                                                    I know no one tried to be rude and to be fair I was tired that day. I might’ve not been as bothered had it been a different day.

                                                    I just moved to Texas this week so I have to find some good vets in the area. I’m on and off about neutering. I know it would probably go fine. Especially as a boy (snip snip all done lol). When I save up money and research more maybe I’ll take the plunge.

                                                    He when in the cardboard box today! For a second :/ but hey he looked at it.

                                                    He’s one of those odd buns that likes to be up high.

                                                    And oh yeah his cage is big I can easily fit inside both half’s of it. I’ve been letting him out more when I can.

                                                    Lola’s too lazy for logic toys. XD I’ve made versions and he’s like give me the food already. Gave him a stuffed animal peed on it. Baby toys that are safe he ignored. Balls ignored.

                                                    He mostly likes to play chase mommy around because mating season.

                                                    He played a lot more as a baby. He’s 4 1/2 now maybe that’s part of it?

                                                          Yeah he’s a middle age adult now. I’m hoping I’ll get at least another 5 years out of him <3

                                                          Mating bunny rituals are so funny even if he does end up nipping me really hard ow. So much honking. So much jumping back and forth in his cage. So many feet circles
