How Can I Exercise A Shy House Rabbit??

[RabbitsForever303]

Recently I took a trip to NZ.
My rabbit, Bella didn't see me for three weeks so she ended up being very shy. She is getting a bit fat but how can I exercise her?

Any Suggestions?

What does her diet consist of, how much, and how much does she weigh?

Also what kind of cage is she in? Are you giving her enough space to exercise?

Try feeding her vegetables like coriander, parsley, corn, beans or peelings instead of 'rabbit food', like hay or rabbit mix. Feed her the vegetables by hand. This not only gives her a much better diet, it also gives her a chance to bond with you. And maybe get her attached to the smell of the food and brush it under her bose before bringing it a certain diatance away. She'll come running and that burst of energy is exercise enough for a healthy bunny on a good diet. I'm no professional but I dind this has worked with my house rabbit and I hope it works with yours.

Whoah! Hay is THE most important part of the rabbits diet. Veggies and greens are great but not corn or beans. And pellets are best limited to 1/4cup per 5lbs body weight.
