Winston has always been quite a nervous bun, but never aggressive. he doesnt struggle when picked up, but runs away as soon as he hears you coming and hides in his house. I thought i was making progress with him earlier this year and he seemed to be becoming more confident, but all of a sudden he went back to his old ways. Lilly died this year and he was so in love with her, always by her side, so i didnt want him to be alone. I got Violet, and she seems to be so desperate for his company, were as he is aggressive and nasty towards her. he's now even become agressive with our cats who he has always loved to sniff and hop around with.
he's bitten violet countless times (hard enough to break skin) through the bars or his hutch, and when bonding attempts were made. i just dont understand where this sudden change in character has come from. can rabbits be like humans and not get over a companion which they have lost? its really upsetting me becuase i loved seeing him and lilly grooming and cuddling eachother. my dad wants me to re-home winston becuase of the extent of his sudden aggressive behaviour (which so far hasent come to him biting me, but grunting and thumping). i love him to pieces so would not consider this, but am i jepordising his welfare by having him near violet when he clearly wants nothing to do with her, or do you think he's fine in his grumpy ways?
sorry this is so long, but i just didnt expect things to go this way, and i dont like how my little man has turned out. advice and opinions would be lovely.
