Thank you for the offer Alty. I not knowledgeable about bunnies but am willing to learn. Please correct things that are wrong. I am trying to include all relevant info as I know that is necessary if I have forgotten anything let me know.
Noble Garden my bunny was bought from a pet store. I got him April 2008 2009. I have no idea how old he was then and did not ask. He was a baby and fit in the palm of my hand. I am saying he as that is what the pet store told me. Yes I have learned after being here shelters are the better place to go and that I need to educate myself BEFORE I get the animal.
Noble's diet consists of water, timothy hay, rabbit food and vegetables. I don't measure his food and he does not seem to be underweight. He is what I would say has a nice round belly but no rolls of fat. He gets this all daily. We also have rabbit treats that he gets occasionally. He has a salt wheel. We have bought him a "log house" that you can change shapes on and he chews on that. We also have the shaped wooden treats for rabbits for him. His cage is the cage the pet store said was for a full grown rabbit(I did not want to have to keep buying bigger cages).
When I first got him he was very very very loving. He would let me pick him up and hold him. If I was laying on the couch he would jump up on it and sleep with me. He was handled lots in those days. Now he just jumps around when loose avoiding us. We watched him closely as well due to the cats, and there has never been a fight with them.
The change happened slowly. I think it started at a year old. He now is temperamental. He will growl at people if they try to feed him. He has not bit anyone! He will what I call "charge" them as well. He does not do that to me. Noble does talk to me as he is beside my computer. He loves to be petted by you rubbing your finger between his eyes down towards his nose and will sit still for that. He also liked Binx too. He will not let me pick him up now or even go toward him when he is loose. He will only come up to the bars in his cage for me to pet him.
He does get out to play. He kind of likes it kind of not. He will not let us pick him up anymore so hubby picks him up like a mommy cat does her babies. He does not seem to mind that and goes limp.
He is not neutered and my heart sank when you asked the question. It never entered our mind that had to be done. Did I cause him to go like this :( I thought where there is no risk of him making another bunny pregnant then it was not necessary.
He has not been outside to play but I did see a picture( I think you posted) of a bunny in a round enclosure on the lawn. I will be looking into getting that for him so he can enjoy the fresh air.
