Wise Old Thumper
My little Paddy is becoming more aggressive. I just went into his run and he bit my ankle I'm actually annoyed with him and I have never been annoyed at a bunny before. He was neutered exactly one a month ago and previous rabbits have never done this so I am very confused. I know hormones take a while to die down but it seems to me the aggression has increased since the op.
For example he used to love my son but he bit him for no reason and it really was no reason, my son does not tease animals plus I was there to see it. Also whenever food is being dispensed whether its pellets or fresh veg, Paddy will rear up and grunt angrily. I have to drop the food from a height to make sure he won't bite my hand which has happened before. He also de clawed his bunny neighbor last month through the mesh and I am beginning to lose hope for bonding him in the future.
My son is scared of him now and I am reluctant to go near him or handle him. When we first adopted him he was lovely and sweet and happy to be handled. He relished having his head stroked and his ears massaged. But now he is starting to shun all that. I don't know where I am with him atm or what to do about it.
Does anyone have any advice please?
