New Kit
Good Morning,
We are new to the forum but need some advice.
We have a a 6 month year old and nearly 1 year old mix breed. The 1 year old was adopted him as he had a previous owner who we were told had mistreated him. Because of this he has some behavior issues. For example, he is quite food aggressive but we have somewhat solved this by scattering food rather than using a food bowl.
But the main issue we have is biting. He goes for our ankles and hands. He has bitten us quite deeply, drawing blood. This behavior is getting worse and we do not know what to do. We have tried contacting the vets but they haven't got back to us. On 'good' days he is a lovely rabbit, but he has 'bad' days which we think is from his past home he quite aggressive. We do not see this in our other rabbit who hasn't got a previous owner.
We are running out of ideas. He is a lovely rabbit and we do accept that it isn't his fault but we can't go on like this.
He is not neutered at the moment but not sure if this is behavioral or hormonal
Thanks in advance,
