Hi Guys, I don't know if you have been following but I adopted a new (female) bun, and since she has been in her hutch indoors with us, Ralphy my other (neutered male) rabbit has gone from the dream rabbit to completely psycho. I change and wash my hands when I from handling one to the other, but even that isn't enough. He has bitten her through the cage, bitten me countless times and it culminated in last night him charging at my legs while I was sat on the chair in the living room viciously for ten minutes I was batting him away (literally had to almost throw him across the room at one point) to stop him going for me. My hands are covered in bites and my legs are covered in scratches. He sits in his usual place on the sofa, completely lies out with his legs behind him and he will not move even if I try to get him up to put him back in his hutch, he just bites! He's been neutered and I don't understand why he is so angry. Do you think i have spoiled him too much in the past? I think he definitely felt like he was bonded to my OH and I --always licking us and snuggling up with us. Maybe this was a bad idea if we were planning on introducing another rabbit to the equation? It is making me so upset. I haven't even started bonding them yet, and already there is so much hate being thrown around!
I've tried posting this on the behaviour and bonding thread, but not much luck yet.. has this happened to anyone before? And can you offer any sort of advice?
