Have I accidently given my rabbit the come on?!

Had him almost 3 years, is a house rabbit who thinks he is a dog. Likes watching TV, lying infront of fire/under table and begging for food when possible (especially banana) Anyway if I have been away at work for a long day he greets me by running round my feet and grunting and doing wee jumps.

However since 2 nights ago when he managed to open the front room door and get in to my bedroom while I was asleep he has been behaving differently. (The bedroom is the one room he is not allowed in as it has cream carpets) It is his sole ambition in his life to get in to that room - he loves under the bed, if I forget to leave door shut he seems to know and runs like the wind. So woke up to him hopping around under the bed and tossing a bank statement around in his mouth (like a dog with a toy). Since then he has been different. Now EVERY time I come in the room, even if I just leave to make a cuppa he runs up to me and grunts and then runs like a lunatic and skids on the floors, narrowly avoids table leg and repeats. I fear I may have encouraged his love further by sleeping on couch lastnight when having insomnia issues - woke up to him sitting on my shoulder and then snuggling in beside me for ages.

Its very nice but why is he suddenly so obsessed with me?! Usually if I am in all day he barely moves his ears when I move, he sort of tunes me out. Is he in some kind of pre-christmas horny mood?!

You need to tell him, gently but firmly, that you love him very dearly but only in a purely platonic fashion.

Stick some mistletoe up and see if he sits under it hopefully!

Maybe he hopes that if he's nice, you'll let him into the magic room with the under bed area he loves so much.

Mine is lovely to me when she thinks there's a chance she can escape to the cellar. Although on Sunday she managed to get out of the kitchen door and went down, but it must have been too cold for her, because she soon reappeared and 'knocked' on the living room door for us to let her back in.

Giraffes, opened this thinking it was about a different kind of rabbit all together.....

May sound a little daft bbut could you get him a teddy or big soft toy of his own to cuddle up to? (Works with children! Who knows- may work with rabbits too? )

Aah, bless, sounds like dominance behaviour from him. Get him a neutered female friend and he'll leave you alone, ha ha.
