I am now fostering for the RSPCA in my area and currently have a bunny that has temperament issues.
Here are some of the things he does:
Circuits of his run.
Twitch does circuits of his run when someone comes near. Even when he is given pellets to eat upstairs in the hutch he will have a few then run down, do a circuit and go back up.
Possessive over toys.
Twitch loves his toys so much that he charges you if you move one. He once stacked them all up into the center of his run. If you keep moving his toy he will charge, box and bite.
Newspaper shredding.
Twitch tears newspaper up into chunks. When i placed a little tray in the run lined with newspaper and straw he ran straight to it. Dug the straw, found the newspaper and then bunny flopped in the tray. His legs were up in the air and he scrabbled at the air for a moment before righting himself and continuing to dig at the paper.
He's such a cutie and i'd love for him to behave better so that he can find a forever home. Here he is
I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has had experience with this sort of behavior?
