Hey
I've had my male (neutered) Dutch rabbit for more than a year now. He lives indoors but has the run of the apartment. He's very affectionate and rarely grunts and never attacks me.
The problem: He's often aggressive towards my mother and my brother. At times he will run out from behind the sofa to grunt and attack my mother rather viciously. Only when she gives him a treat does he relent. She often looks after him if I'm away for the weekend and at times he's not bothered by her, but mostly he will attack her if I'm not there.
Could this be a behavioral problem? He doesn't attack my boyfriend or me - not even our cat (they get on well). If it is behavioral how can I fix it?
