Hi, i have a 14 month old neutered black male mini lop. My boyfriend bought him for me from a local pet shop for me and didn't ask the right questions etc. . when he was bought and consequently i don't know anything about his mother etc. . He has always been a relatively scatty and nervous bun from the outset. He lives in the house with us, occupying a large cage in the front room and has free run when we are in the house and goes in his bed when we are out. The vet mentioned that his behaviour may improve once he was neutered and so he was around 6 months ago. unfortunately nothing has improved, in fact it has only got worse. where as at one point he would let us sit on the floor with him and get the occational stroke in or jump on the sofa for one. Now, he grunts and pounces whenever anyone goes near him. Picking him up is not an option, he fights it viciously (we handle him correctly and the vet struggles at times with him) - he sometimes even screams.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I have read so much literature on house rabbits and after a year nothing seems to work. does anyone have any advice at all?
