first of all id like to say a big HELLO :wave:

we bought a rabbit a while ago and now he's 6 months old and starting to get attitude :?

he has started nipping my ankles and chaces me around the garden and house (running at me) and he's started getting friendly with my wife

what can we do to keep a happy household ?

does he need another rabbit or maybe a guinea pig ?

thanks
Daz

Getting him neutured should help :wave:

but I would not suggest getting him a guinea pig friend, a bunny friend when neutured would be good though

YOu have to neuter him to prevent future cancer as well as get him a spay bunny from any of the closest rehome bunny shelter, that would keep him company

Getting him neutered would probably be the best solution at this stage. The little guy probably has his hormones kicking in

I would get him neutered and then get him a wife...

please don't put a guinea with him as they are different species and may fight x

Sounds like a great solution to me,Boris used to be like that during his "teenage period" but he's a lot calmer now when neutered. Good luck

Great idea Daz! It's usually around £40 for a male castration, but it will definately be worth it
