Hiya jamie,
         your rabbit is doing this because he is board but its wrong what your rabbit is doing. So you have got to show your rabbit what he is doing is wrong.

Do this by tapping him on the nose and say NO THATS NAUGHTY.
Dont shout at him but just say it firmly like you meant it.

Try this and see if it works from natasha



How do I make him "unbored"? I mean, theres not all that much things you can do with a rabbit. LoL! ....  

Answer
Hiya jamie,
         yes i will admit there isnt alot to do with rabbits but you can make things for him still. Like if you have a run out side for him or if u let him run around your house can be quite entertaining for rabbits. Or if you have an old cardboard box and cut holes at the sides and maybe put in some hay or soil and hide treats in them then that can entertain rabbits for hours.

Try these and see if it helps to take the boardem away.
