I am a bit worried about my black bun, Millie (1 yr old).
The other one, Miffy (15month old), is much more of a people rabbit, and so comes to me and my partner for fuss and attention. Millie is much more nervous about people and prefers to choose when she gets attention.
They are both females (both spayed) and are not bonded as have fought in the past so i have to let them have time out of their cages individually (they are house rabbits).
In the past week, i have noticed that Millie, who normally comes skipping out of her cage to run about at a million miles an hour, has been tentively coming out for a small while and then going back in and just laying stretched out. She just seems fed up...she is eating, drinking, pooing and weeing as normal and she is not hunched up or grinding teeth or...Also she has started being really aggressive to me and my partner when we put our hands in her hutch to feed her or get her litter tray etc. I know this can be normal for buns but she has never been like this before.
Basically everything is normal with her apart from she seems depressed and this sudden agressive behaviour to us when we go into her cage...
Has anyone else experience anything like this? Any suggestions on how to 'cheer her up' or does anyone recognise this behaviour as a health problem? Help!!! :shock:
