Also, rabbits teeth are constantly growing. They are also very smart. If they dont have toys to keep them mentally stimulated and to help their teeth then they'll chew.
You can make DIY toys out of toilet paper rolls and cardboard. Rabbits also live pinecones.
Willow balls and apple wood sticks are great too.
And rabbits love cat tunnels.
You've already gotten lots of great advice about litter training but I just wanted to mention that the bigger the litter box the better.
Those little Conner litter trays aren't big enough. It will work while he's a baby, but even dwarf rabbits are too big for those litter pans.
He should be able to turn all the way around eailsy in it.
You could get an under the bed storage tub at the dollar store for a litter box. Those work great for rabbits.
Be sure you have lots of hay in your litter box too. Rabbits eat while they poo, so providing lots of hay will make them want to use it more.
While you are still litter training him dont free roam in to big of an area. Just one room that you can monitor him in.
I highly recommend getting him a wire dog playpen instead of a cage. You can fit all his needs in there and he can still have room to play. A cage doesn't provide any of that.
When rabbits are only kept in cages they become bored and often chew it. And hence they are let put they'll chew even more things. They also can't exercise in there, which means they'll have spent up energy. This makes them much less cuddly.
Of course babies will have more energy than an adult so they won't be very cuddly anyways.
Once he's about 3-6 months old, hormones will kick in. This is the teenage phase.
They start chewing thing more, they're not at all cuddly, and their personality changes.
Getting him neutered will fix this.
You'll probably notice he's a lot calmer, not destructive, much much better with litter training, smells better, and more cuddly.
Oh, I forgot to mention, on BYC you have to pay a fee for info.
We need pictures!!!!
