Why does my rabbit keep tipping over/emptying her food bowl? Is she bored?

I often come home from work and find my rabbit has tipped over and emptied her food bowl. Today within half an hour of filling it up again she did it again.





Is it a sign of boredom? I keep her in the house and let her out and handle her everyday.





I don't think it is because she does not like the food as its the same food she has always had and she always eats it.Why does my rabbit keep tipping over/emptying her food bowl? Is she bored?
Probably boredom. First get a heavier bowl that isn't easily tipped. I use heavy-duty thick stoneware bowls for dogs. You say that she's let out... for how long? Rabbits should have 4-6 hours out-of-cage time every day. Less than that, she's probably bored, under-exercised, and in need of mroe stimulation. Add more toys to her cage as well. Plain paper towel or toilet paper tubes, stuffed with hay, are usually a hit. Dried apple twigs, wooden chew items from the pet store, untreated willow baskets, and plastic baby keys are usually a hit, as are anything with a bell in it that they can make lots of noise playing with.

Maybe he doesn't like his food and is looking for the good stuff. Yeah, try a wider/heavier bowl. Or one that hooks on the side of the cage.

Your rabbit might be teasing YOU! If you keep picking it back up, maybe your bunny thinks it's amusing. Babies do it, so why not rabbits?
Could be be she;s bored, or she's telling you something else. My rabbits will flip food bowls if they would rather I watered them first. It's a manner of expresion and you need to figure out what she's trying to express.
Have you checked the liquor cabnet? Your rabbit could be an alcoholic. That would explain why it celebrates New Year's Eve in March.
Bunnies like to put their feet up on the bowl, and they inadvertently tip it over. Get a heavier bowl with a wider base.
hahaha thats funnny, maybe your bunny is bored.





or depressed
She nees some toys to play with - yes they do get bored! They just enjoy tossing things. I use to give mine cardboard toilet paper tubes. Just make sure there is no glue on them. They toss them around then tear them to pieces. It's a very inexpensive way to keep them occupied for awhile.


A larger heavier bowl will help. Or if she's in a cage get a crock that has a bracket attached to the cage wall. The 'Lock-It' company makes nice ones in different sizes.
