Young Bun
I got my first rabbit in the end of December and/or beginning of January. She's a Holland Lop and she just turned six months old. When she was about 4 months, she attacked my hand for the first time in the cage, but I didn't pull away from her. She charged at my hand and kinda slammed her front paws on my hand with a nip. To this day she does it and if I don't move my hand she'll go on her hind legs and claw viciously, run away, charge, nip and claw all over again. I don't move my hand away because I don't want her thinking that if she attacks she'll get us to leave... she hasn't gotten the concept in 2 months. In fact, I think/sure/it got worse.
She also use to love sniffing my dog and follow her (the rabbit being on the couch and my 45lb dog walking on the floor by the couch). Milly, my rabbit, didn't mind at first when Stella, my dog, would sniff her butt like how dogs greet each other. I got my dog to stop doing that, but when she lays down by Milly, Milly would run to Stella's head, wait for Stella to sniff her. When Stella sniffs her, Milly would go on her hind legs and claw/box Stella's head. For the life of me, I can't find any way to stop this aggressive rabbit behavior. I know spaying would help a lot (haven't done it yet, I'm saving up) but I need other tips on how to stop this behavior. Anything would be appreciated, thank you
(This doesn't usually happen outside of her cage)
