Confused

[First time bunny owner]

hI, i a new rabbit which is originally why i came on pet talk because i needed some ideas on how to take care of it, but i have had my dog for a really long time and he is great he listens and everything but gets very very jelous whenever we go to pet or even feed the rabbit,he gets in between us and the cage and starts jumping around and barking like he is trying to get the attention.Is there anyway i could get him to feel so he is not left out.

This is to be expected - ask any parent, when a new sibling comes home, there is almost always a period of jealousy and adjustment.

Make sure you spend time "just" with your dog still, maybe make more of a point of it right now. Then, if he tries to jump up and get between you and the cage, firmly say "No." and tell him to "sit" or "down" whichever he knows best. Then ignore him until he does.

After you are done playing with the bunny, then you can initiate play time with your dog again. But make it clear to him that bunny time is bunny time, and his time is his time.
