  • Having an aggressive rabbit isn't fun for anyone, so please follow these easy steps to make your rabbit less aggressive.
    This isn't a quick fix as it will take a lot of time to make sure that your rabbit will start to trust and bond with you. Aggression is usually learned, and because of that, it will take time to build trust. We are talking months, not days or weeks.

    If she is not thumping or growling any more, and is checking your scent your doing good. Damn taking food from your hand already. Her aggression was from fear not cuz she was a bad rabbit.

    It’s sad that people view rabbits so differently to dogs or cats (I know they are predators and rabbits are pray animals) but rabbits can be litter trained and provide great companionship, given the right care. It just isn’t fair to keep them confined, they should be able to act on their natural instincts and live their life. All you really have to do is set up an x-pen or get some c&c grids with reasonable space with comfortable flooring. Wire flooring may not be a good choice for the bunnies health if they’re genetically propositioned to developing sore hocks. It may be easy to keep clean but image if you had to walk on those wired flooring barefoot for a long period of time, rabbits do not have padding on their paws. Bonding with your rabbit may also be easier as you can just sit in the x-pen with her. She’ll have an opportunity to approach you and explore you, it will help her feel more comfortable with you. It’s probably not a nice to have hands coming towards you randomly throughout the day even if they are bringing you food. This whole video just makes me feel sad.

    Similar case to my pet bunny but mine is when everytime i try to feed him and taking her food bowl to put a pellet on it she wil do honking noise then she gonna bit me but her bite is not hard that cause a wound/bleed, so what should i do? Any ideas how to avoid this kind of behaviour that my pet bunny would never do it again?

    • @FoodForThought.
      @FoodForThought.  ปีที่แล้ว

      The easiest way to avoid for aggression is to add a J feeder, that way you can feed from outside the cage. Is she aggressive if petting her, or just with the food?

  • @cosmob.4895

    How long are the bunnies in the cage per day? Maybe the aggression is coming from their living environment too. Try letting them live with you in your home maybe, like a cat or dog would :)

      Possibly lack of handling, some people buy rabbits for breeding and the only time they touch the rabbit is when they are going to be bred. Also aggressive owners can make them like this.

    Great stuff, know a few females like that. I got 9 doe's and 5 bucks. I had a wicked bite off my doe luna. SHe had 7kits while back. Now I got so many. Boys off to vets on the 28th. Great to watch your vids. I love rabbits and my life revolves around caring for them. I cured my rabbit of a terrible eye injury where my thumb nail badlly damage the eye. Flighty doe turned head and it was a hellish injury. After a lot of meds that didn't work a massive cist develop and the vet decide on eye removel. One day before pop I used 6 percent dmso in distilled water in the eye. It completely destroyed the cyist and mending the horrific deep scaring. Dmso is sulfer and very powerful. I'm using manuka to clear an eye infection reacuring with distilled water as well as a teabag wash once a day. The eye in my French loop had a weeping and small lumps under the eye lid and around the eye at the moment. I like to use a small hand held nebulizer on my bunnies. Silver water and saline. They love it. They drink activate charcoal slurrys and apple cider. DE earth I use a lot. Cannabis for them as well.leaves and roots and sticks. I'm making manuer out of their waste.

    I 've had Bunnies as pets for thirdty some years and have never had an aggressive bun. When i hear about this b.s. i immediately know that the bun is unhappy in its environment. They detest cages and small confined spaces. If a female gives birth in horrible confinement, yes they will spare their off spring. No animal likes to loose its mobility and freedom. Like the human animal,its becomes depressed and revenge full. Buns need twelve hrs a day free roaming exercise.

    Some rabbits just have an aggressive temperament. Most of the rabbits I had over the years were pretty tame. One of my 4h projects was almost impossible to handle though I worked with him daily. Then we had a crossbred doe that would try to bite almost daily. It was worse when she kindled. Excellent mother but she would bite the tar out of you if you didn't watch.

      If your rabbit got urine burns it was either not potty trained (which is 100% possible with bunnies) OR it didn't have an adequate toileting area.
