Hi.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't figure out where to post this so hopefully this is okay. I have been looking online and haven't really been able to find an answer so I'm hoping you guys can help. I recently moved from my home town to a very large city for work and my rabbit has been on edge ever since. This isn't the first time she has had to deal with a move (I moved into an apartment for a year for College and than moved her back home after) and she has always been fine before. However, this time she is very on edge and refuses to leave her cage. She's eating, drinking, pooing, peeing, enjoying her rare treats, and still loves to be petted. So, I know she's not sick, but she won't leave the cage (it's been 4 weeks now) and she seems to get scared much easier than she normally would. Is there a way that I can make her more comfortable? I'm wondering if maybe there is a smell or a noise that I'm not catching that may be causing a problem.
At this point I'm almost ready to just take her back to my dad's because she loves it there and I want her to be happy, but I obviously also would like to be able to keep her with me. If anyone can help that would be great.
Also, I leave her cage door open from the moment I get home from work until I sleep, and pretty much all weekend so she's being given lots of time to explore if she wants it.
