Hi, I Need to Know what I can do about my rabbit, Coca is a doe about 8 months, not fixed yet. I let her out for about 5 hours a day when I am home, she goes in her home when I tell her to, she is litter trained---
Ok My deal is when she comes out all she does is follows me around at my feet always if I sit and watch tv she plays with my feet or jumps up with me, she will do her run and jumps then come straight back to me, when I get up she goes every where I do, but she wont play with anything no toys, boxes, playhouses, rabit toys, baby toys, cat toys, ...I am worried that she is not getting enough exercise and mental stimulation, is something wrong with her? any ideas how to get her more active besides being at my feet all the time...Thanks for any help

Congrats your bunny LOVES you! It also sounds to me like she needs a companion. However, she will have to be spayed first. Contact your local human societ or RSPCA, I have found their feeds to be much lower, it is also generally where the rescues go for spaying/neutering.
After she has healed from her surgery, it's time to search for a companion. The best combination is a neutered male with a spayed female, however 2 spayed females often do well together. Remember you are not the one who gets to choose who your bun's mate will be.... it's up to her. Contact local Rabbit Resuces to find a mate. There you can meet the buns, speak with staff and provide a neutral play for them to meet. They can also provide you with information regarding bonding pair of buns. Here are a list of rabiit rescues by state in the US: http://www.thebunnystore.com/rabbitrescue.htm
Please do not get your buns companion from a petstore. They buns are not spayed/neutered. Many rescues will tell you to only introduce 2 altered buns because if they fall in love, after the surgery their hormones, personality and scents often change, and the bond breaks.

I wouldn't try it. A rabbit can do SERIOUS damage VERY fast. The rabbit could injure the rat faster then you can stop it. To be safe, i would say no. The rat would not have a chance if the bunny decided he/she didn't like it. Totally not worth the risk to me.

Perhaps you should consider getting her a companion, because that's what it sounds like she's wanting. Doesn't have to be another rabbit.
Guinea pigs are wonderful companions for rabbits (need to be caged separately though, due to dietary need differences).
But when they have ''free time'' out of their cages, they'll keep each other happy (and you won't have to worry about genders, since they cannot breed.)

Seems to me you have a great pet. Thinks you are the best freind. We had a dwarf lop, thought it was a dog. Slept with the Labrador, ate dog food sometimes came when I whistled and would jump on your lap when it wanted attention. thje only problem I see is maybe it wants more attention than you want to give.
