Hi Everyone,
I am a first time rabbit owner, have had guinea pigs, hamsters etc before.
We got our rabbit at 3 months old, she has always been very jumpy around people and doesn't like fuss.
She has began getting quite aggressive with us grunting if we even approach her. she is a house rabbit and while we let her run around the living room we do still keep her in a cage to avoid any nibbling things when we're not there.
At the slightest noise she sprints to the other side of the room, it can be a leg shuffling or anything even subtle.
We got her spayed 2 weeks ago and this week i am really struggling to get her back in her cage. She won't let me near her without lunging, grunting or running away.
I hate upsetting or scaring her so how can i catch her without frightening her.
She bit my boyfriend a few weeks and drew a fair amount of blood, we're really struggling with her behaviour.
Does my rabbit hate/mistrust me? How can i improve her behaviour.
Thanks!
