Ahhh! I have two rabbits. I got the second one as company for the first and that has taken away tons of boredom. Maybe you could do this? If you have two bucks they need to be neutered or they may well fight.
If you don't want another rabbit then you can thread interesting pieces of vegetables onto string and put it so he has to stand up to nibble on it....trying to get it gives him something to do and think about.
Also hang a basket of meadow hay in the same way.
A lone rabbit needs lots of company. Can you bring him down into the living area each day so he gets mental stimulation that way?
You can create little hideouts in your room and put little treats in them for him to find.
Also try putting some screwed up paper down for him to shred.
Old toilet rolls and cereal boxes are good too. Any old jumpers or socks so he can nibble on them.
Try to change things around in the room for him from time to time so he can explore.
I always say that rabbits are the hardest work in entertaining and cleaning etc. and I have 31 animals including ferrets and parrots!
I hope this is some help to you.

the suitable treatment for a bored bunny is yet another bunny! once you've your bunny neutered, (about $ninety 5.00 in my neck of the woods,) you may have the capacity to grant him a bunny lady friend. Bunnies also like a brilliant type of toys. Mine are fantastically keen on grass balls and ring toys, both one among that could want to be got here upon at any puppy keep. you are able to also get a harness that you'll be able to correctly take them outdoors for workout and nibbling, (basically be sure there isn’t any pesticide use contained in the area,) or let them run in a chance-free room with none uncovered electric powered cords. All of those blended will bring about a very satisfied bunny!

Try getting her a friend. If you don't want another rabbit you could get a guinea pig. I did that with my rabbit, and he is much happier since I put Morwen, the new guinea pig in his cage.
As for toys the simplest things are best with rabbits, just give them boxes, and tunnels, and hay, and fresh herbs, and paper balls, and paper bags, and they will be happy :)

Yeah, I had a single, neutered rabbit for 4 months and by far the best thing I ever did was to get him a spayed female friend. They seem to keep each other entertained.
As for toy ideas, here's what mine love:
Big cardboard box with 2 holes cut out in the sides.
Big cardboard box with holes cut in sides, stuffed with hay to dig in.
Long Dyson empty box to run though
Old towel to bunch up and dig in (just make sure they don't eat any of it)
The cardboard tube out of a toilet roll, either stuffed with hay or empty (to throw around)
Willow balls and chew sticks. I buy mine from here http://www.westwaleswillows.co.uk/bunnytoys.html
Tunnels or chubes
Plastic caravan step to hop on an off and hide under
They love hopping up and down stairs too
Oh and they also love to dig in their litter tray and throw that everywhere!
Just be imaginative really but honestly, the best thing for your bun is to get her a neutered male friend. Mine love playing, snuggling and washing each other.

I have kept rabbits for sixteen years and they always look like that!
As long as they have toys and access to freedom then you are doing the right thing.
My current rabbit is exactly the same. He will sit on the living room carpet for hours and not move.
Don't worry, you aren't doing anything wrong.

Rabbits are social animals and are best in twos. Obviously if you get a boy to need to get him neutered as the saying 'at it like rabbits' doesn't come from no where.
Hope your new bunny cheers up :)

Take her outside and let her eat grass. My rabbit always used to love that.. Or maybe consider getting her a friend :)

We give ours dangling bird bells and toys. We attatch them to the top of her cage and she gets additional exercise this way.

You could try getting her a "Rampant Rabbit" for company.
