Aggressive rabbit behavior
is the pet rabbit owner worse nightmare.Why my lovely little friend has
become mean and aggressive?What have I done wrong is our first
question.There are 4 important things to remember in order to
understand why this is happening.
- Let the rabbit out of his cage before you put your hands into it.
Rabbits
are territorial animals. If you let your bunny in his cage most of the
time and you put your hands in it, he his likely to charge at you to
protect his territory.Let him out before you intend to do any cleaning
or else to it.If the cage only has a top opening,make him a side door
so he can go in and out by himself.
- Spend time playing with your rabbit more often.
This
is unfortunate but a new pet rabbit is the center of attention when
first came in. After a few months,you may have lost interest in him and
left in alone a little bit more often everyday.Without a bond with his
owner, some rabbits can become aggressive.
- Your rabbit need to be spayed or neutered.
This
is the most common situation. You got an adorable baby rabbit and by
the age of 3 to 4 months old,he or she started to get rebellious.This
is because when they become teenagers, rabbits can get
territorial,maybe they start to growl, they resist being picked up,and
start to nip and bite you.But all they need really is to get spayed or
neutered.Once they are their behavior change considerably and they
really calm down.
- Something is causing your rabbit to be stressed out.
There
might be something causing your bunny to become an aggressive
rabbit.Are they any other pets in the house? Dogs barking?Children
trying to pick him up all the time?Or maybe loud music?Try to see what
could be stressful for him.Maybe there is something you can do like
putting his in a rabbit proofed room when you are gone instead of a
cage. Providing him with more space will make your rabbit much happier. I hope this was helpful if you have an aggressive rabbit
problem.There are a lot more tips I would like to share with you. Do
