We are Rabbit Owners, of Smoky and Sammy both are Netherland Lops and we love them dearly, they are very much members of the family. We think they miss us when we are not around, because we can see the effect of our absence on them when we return from work or an outing. They bound over our feet and even sleep in the same room as we do. Essentially Smoky and Sammy will stay with us all day when we work from home. So yes I think they miss us when we are not around.

We suppose because rabbits are social animals that can form strong bonds with their owners and may miss them when they are gone. Like dogs and cats, rabbits can experience separation anxiety when separated from their owners, which can cause them to become anxious, stressed, or depressed.

Rabbits may show signs of missing their owners by becoming more lethargic, withdrawn, or less interested in eating, playing, or interacting with others. They may also become more vocal, such as by making loud noises or thumping their hind legs, as a way to communicate their distress.

It's important for rabbit owners to provide their pets with plenty of mental and physical stimulation, such as by providing toys, tunnels, and other enrichment activities, to help reduce stress and anxiety when they are away from home. Additionally, spending time with your rabbit and providing them with plenty of attention and affection when you are home can help strengthen the bond between you and your pet and reduce the likelihood of separation anxiety.
