My 6 month old male lop has always been a bit 'what appears to be dominant'! He's been neutered, which I was hoping would calm him down & got him wee lulu as a pal for company. He has a big hutch with attached run so plenty space.
He's always been a bit of a dominant character where he runs at your hand, tail up & teeth ready to bite! Sometimes I think he's getting better but recently he's been worse again! He bit me really badly when I went to shut them in for the night & the wound on my hand is really bad! I puck him up regardless even if it means putting a towel over him to get hold of him as I want him to know I will still want to handle him regardless of his behaviour!
I can accept that all rabbits donr like being picked up so I'd leave him be @ just stroke him from the hutch, trouble is he's running at me to bite me!!
I put them both out in garden run this morning & gave them some veg then once cleaned hutch out went to get them for a cuddle! Again he's running at me, tail up, seems an angry wee bunny but I managed to pick him up!
I've also separated him from lulu as he's constantly trying to hump her even though he's been done & went to was getting giddy trying to go for me this morning he had a nip at her too she is the cutesy wee friendliest thing ever!! She's been well handled since birth though so very sociable!
Didnt want her getting hurt though so have moved into hutch in the hut!!
Don't know if I should leave them separated & go back for one of her sisters as only 6 weeks so the 2 girls can be a pair & leave mr grumpy on his own (advice welcome)
Also what do I do regards his behaviour? Do I just keep handling him to get him used to it or how do u deal with a bunny that runs at you trying to bite your hand x
