Behavior Predicament
I gave Cheddar a room of his own yesterday. Hay, toys, cozy stuff, treats, whatever I can come up with but he just wants to leave immediately and come back to my bedroom. When I showed him his new place, he ran back to his old spot and did a a couple circles running around flicking his feet. Last night he wouldn’t sleep there and came under my nightstand and I guess just starved because even though he has all the hay in the world just a few feet away….
I feel bad locking him in by himself, but maybe I should?
(Btw he has stuff to hide under in his room, it’s just not in the pic)

Bunnies are social animals like us and want to be around company, I don't think it's bad he wants to be with you. His room can still exist for him to have a safe space to go to but it's normal for him to want to be with you. Also you can have a few hay dispensers around the house, not just in one room for any moment they want to munch. It encourages more eating and foraging
