I'm really, really upset and I know RU will understand.
Dexie, my first bun has just bitten my hand He's not bitten or nipped since just before his neuter over a year ago. He's my most cuddle bun and is never, ever aggressive. He's always the first to bounce over when I go to the shed to say hello and he's the only bun who actually likes being picked up for snuggles.
I've just been out to shed about half an hour ago to feed the buns and change their water. Thought I'd sit in with them and give out some nose rubs for a while.
Noticed something was 'off' with Dexie as he didn't bounce over for cuddles and just sat, looking at me with squinted eyes. He didn't look happy, in fact, he looked really cross. (sounds silly, but I know he looked really angry) As I went to stroke him, he jumped forward, I thought it was for cuddles, so I went to pick him up. As soon as my hands touched him, he lunged at me and bit me on the palm of my hand. He then sat back down.
He then jumped into the hay box and munched some little bits of hay, so I put out their pellets to see if he was eating ok. He was the first to the box and munched away at the pellets.
I'm really upset
Is it maybe because he had his myxi vacc the other day? Could he just be feeling a bit eurgh and not want noserubs etc? Pumpkin is her usual nervous self so no change there and she had her vacc at the same time.
No changes in any one else as they are booked in this week and next week (couldn't manage all 7 together)
The only other change is that they were indoors for a few days as we finished the shed floor, they only went out last night.
Any ideas?
