We have a 1 year old bunny boy who just never seems to get enough attention/food/toys. He has a bunny friend and there is always someone at home so they are usually only left to themselves at night. While normal rabbits are supposed to sleep during the day, he doesn't sleep much. Rather he is on top of, underneath and inside anywhere he can get. When he gets bored he tends to bite the leg of a chair, any chair. It used to mean he wanted pellets, but now it can mean anything. It is not like he chews out of boredom. He takes a bite and stares at us while he waits for a reaction. If we don't respond, he bites again. Eventually we do respond because we want to keep the legs on our chairs. He is only ever really content when my son has days off from school and we also at the same time have family or friends stay over. The more the merrier, he seems to think. He loves people, even strangers, as long as they don't smell like dog. When we are a minimum of 3 people plus bunny friend at home 24/7, he doesn't seem to get bored much (unless someone has a nap or goes for a stroll). However I do suspect that he would eventually get bored of it too given some time. It seems he just likes things to be new and exciting. Since we have to do other things than play with our bunnies during the day, it seems impossible to give him all the attention he really wants, and it gets frustrating that he often is up to no good just for the sake of that extra attention. The bunnies don't stay in a cage or enclosure but during the night stay in the kitchen and during the day also have access to the living room. Because he is a very unafraid bunny who doesn't respond to the word "no" (although he does understand what it means), we rarely give him access to other areas of the house. Blink one time and he's already halfway up the stairs after having jumped over the baby gate.
Anyone have ideas? He has toys and free access to fresh twigs, but I really don't think it is toys he is missing. He loves to explore new areas and he loves people, but there is limits to how much of that we can offer him. During summer he gets to be outside an hour or two daily which makes him sleep the rest of the day, but during the winter it isn't really possible. I know some claim bunnies can be outside in the cold for short times, but where I am it is very windy and wet so it wouldn't be ideal. Will he calm down with age? We love him to bits and he is a very affectionate and bright bunny, just very demanding.

Whereas a high hay diet with very minimal pellets, the rabbit spends a lot of the day eating hay, so less time for boredom.
