[caramel]

get caramel to exercise more, when she is out ofher hutch she will run and skip around but only for a couple of minsthen she lays down i was wondering how i could get her to become moreactive

Really, you can't. Have you had thebun long? She just needs time to get used to her newsurroundings. You can try to entice w/ toys though.

one thing you can do is get cardboard boxes andmake little hiding places with them or make a sort of 'cardboardcastle' if you want. i know my guy uses it and i only put it in hisroom 2 days ago and he just goes nuts. he sleeps in there more than hedoes in his house now lol. just try giving her things to do, like a boxwith shredded paper to dig at. or even hide her favorite treats aroundthe room and shell go looking for them.

When Berri lived alone she was exactly likethat. Then Pebble and Ebony came and she totally changed,she becameactive and bouncy and happy all the time:bunnydance:, right up untilthe end, it was great, though I don't know if it's a possiblility foryou, bunny company helped in her case at least.

Do you handle her a lot? Is shecomfortable with you? If so, you can tryplayinggames with her. Have you seen the bunnies that jumpobstacles?

That would be great exercise.

Snuggy and I play chase. I come up behind her with grabbyhands and say "I'm gonna getcha, Snuggy!" and she binkies and runsoff. I chase her, then she'll turn and start chasingme. It's the only way I can get her to move her fat littlebutt!

I just have to be careful that she doesn't run too close to my feet.

You could try making her a 'bunny playground'when she goes out. Every day when I put my buns in their run I changewhich of their toys I put out and how I arrange them so as to keep theminterested all the time. Boxes/pipes/digging boxes etc will allencourage her to play more. Also spending more time with her giving herattention and playing with her will encourage her to run about a bitmore.
