I don't have any experience with house rabbits, so hopefully some others will have a few ideas for you, too.Is it possible for you to get a water bottle for him? If you can, it might work for you to have the water bottle for him and the bowl so he can gradually learn to drink from the bowl without getting dehydrated.I have rabbits that will act like they are dying for attention, but then not really appreciate the petting. Sometimes they like it, and other times they don't. I just try not to push them too hard. I usually try to get them used to having their face rubbed gently while they eat a treat from my hand first. They will learn to settle for petting after a while of doing that for short times. Then after I have their trust, I gradually add in petting the rest of their body. This is all done gradually and in short sessions. It works pretty well for my rabbits and doesn't take a huge amount of time every day.With him pulling on the cage, does he have some little toys he can pick up and throw around? Sometimes you can use some hard plastic baby toys for them for play with.How is he doing now?</blockquote>
