My grandma has had an unwanted bunny for about 4 years now. He is very skittish and not friendly because he has never been socialized. I was wondering if there's still hope for him and if he can be socialized so he can be let out of his cage more often and actually be able to enjoy it. 

Currently, my grandma says she only lets him out when she cleans his cage and she puts him into a hallway that is blocked off with a gate, so he can't get out. When he is put into the blocked off hallway, he often just sits in the corner regardless of someonewhether anyone is in there with him or not. He also kicks a lot if you try to pick him up to be put back into his cage. 

Is there anyway we can try to socialize him? Does anyone know any rescuesrescue organizations that may take him if we can't?

How do you socialize a bunny that has been locked in a cage for many years with very little socialization?
