Dig into them?

Rosie runs around like a mad thing then jumps up on my lap for a cuddle, after a few mins she then starts digging and biting into my jumper, dressing gown etc.

is she being spiteful or what??

Thanks

No - rabbits like to dig!! You could provide her with a digging box & encourage to use that instead - & a strong "NO" when she does it on you - or a little "scream" - so she knows she's hurt you. She's not doing it to hurt you, just that it's in her nature. Spice used to do it to me, but hasn't since she was spayed - although that might not necessarily stop her!

My bigger bun used to that everytime I picked her up, on my clothes, on the bed, everywhere, but she seems to have totally grown out of it now for some reason. Bless her! She is very affectionate, although she isn't afraid of letting me know when she has had enough. Short regular cuddles I find are best, she doesn't like sitting still for too long

Mine do it, especially if I've just held one of the other rabbits.

Rudy likes to dig soft things like slippers and sometimes back of my leg. Dont know why he does it but its never in an aggresive manner
