My rabbit Vinnie(named after vinnie jones as he was SO aggressive!) was a complete nightmare when i got him.
He was bought into the surgery i worked at by a rabbit breeder who wanted him pts as the kids who fed her rabbits(!) were being attacked by him on a daily basis & she couldnt handle/pick him up. My vet said no way but that she would ask me to go round . When i got there he was in a shed in a tiny hutch behind another rabbits run & under another rabbits hutch!!!!
I immediately said id take him & he was neutered the next day. Anyway, it took months for him to trust me(i have 2 scars on my leg from where he literally would fly at me & hang on by his teeth!!) & had he been taken to another vet I wouldnt have the most gorgeous sweet bunny 8 years on!!! I can do anything to him & all it took was slots of space(nice spacious run & hutch), time & empathy...
im sure u can do the same with this little guy!

Is he a outdoor bun? and has he got a run he can play in, only I was thinking maybe you could give him in food whilst he's playing in his run.
Have tried offering him a treat with your fingers from outside, or let him smell you hand from the outside.
It sounds like he is seeing you as a threat at the moment to his territory.
I agree with Elve, I wouldn't give up on him every one is here to help.
Let us know how you get on.

He is a lop harlequin.I have just started back at uni and have to travel to london from margate every day and have 9 rescue buns at the moment and have run out of garden.any offer of help in finding this bun accomadation would be appreciated as i say i have tried local charitys in this area who after meeting him advised me to have him pts.
I have had an aggressive bun for the last 2.5 years (she was beaten) I use to wear 2 pairs of gloves to feed her and she eventually let me feed her without biting, it didn't happen overnight but when it did the feeling it gave me was second to none in fact it was only about a month ago that I posted on here that she let us pick her up and cuddle her (the feeling of trust that she gave me was unbelievable) don't get me wrong we still have off days with her but you end up learning to live with it and it is so rewarding when they let you do something that your other buns let you do for them. You know then that it is all worth while.
Have you tried RSPCA Medway?

I haven't regretted taking on Zebedee for Alice despite the scars I now have on my hands and arm :roll: , and the one my son has on his arm Zebs is so much happier and seems to be the fella to keep Isadora in line. They are very much in love. He needed lots of space to run off all that energy. I only handle him when it is necessary, but give him treats often. He comes running up to me now, although I confess I get a bit anxious if I have exposed skin
I hope you can help this lad overcome his past and find love.

Aaah Jill, that is brilliant you are taking on this bun. I will never forget the day Louise took Zebedee on, his previous owner set her dog on him so it is not surprising he is so full of angst. Here I only had a small run for him but I know Louise can give him so much more, and she still loves him although he is so aggressive!

I am sure he will be well taken care of. I know what a worry these special needs buns are when you feel you are not able to give them what they require. Hey Max, be happy little man, that is all that we want for you!!!

Andrea put out an appeal for transport but it was very urgent and emma kindly offered to take him and she is much nearer to Andrea...so I'm returning the welding gloves and wishing Max all the best ( and Emma of course!)
