Well I'm glad this forum is so helpful. As my wife is overseas for a month it is just Mikie an me in the house.
Let me tell you a bit about his personality. He isn't one who likes to play with humans. He likes to explore and run around by himself. I guess when he was younger we picked him up a lot so he runs away when he thinks we are about to do this. Which is almost all the time. Always fun trying to get him back into his cage.
He is an indoor bunny and at the moment is not allowed outdoors due to his past floppy bunny problem and also the heat of the season.
When I let Mikie out of the cage, free run of the living room, he just hops around... sits down, lies down and hops around some more. Only when he is trying to do something naughty does he get very focused. Like trying to jump over the barriers which we setup for him. He stares at it and tires different attempts. Its fun to watch. It's like he is planning a prison break.
Oh the best time was when he moved a brick somehow. Because his cage is on stilts. I put bricks around it so he doesnt go under it where the newspaper is (in case he pees and it seeps through). I was watching TV and for about 20 minutes I hear him working on something behind me. He kept doing something and doing it over and over. Then I hear newspaper shredding. I investigate and he is nowhere to be seen. He got under the cadge by moving a house-brick to one side. Amazing. After this I pulled him out. Lets try to see him move two bricks.
I've given him a few toys, a box to play in (with holes on both sides) used cardboard toilet rolls, tennis ball etc. He doesn't seam to play. He looks more like a philosopher staring at the scenery.
Do you friends think he is unhappy or its just the way he is?
