Hi all,
Our bun Dottie has issues!
She's been with us for a few months now, having got her from a home where she was in a tiny hutch (a double with missing ramp, so one level) and obviously neglected.
Since bringing her home, we've have provided her with lots of space, enrichment, quality food, veggies and a friend (after spaying) but she's always been aggressive towards us.
I'm thinking it's part fear due to a lack of interaction prior, and possibly her being territorial over what she now has.
I've mentioned before that she will try to nip me and makes a grunting noise. When I feed her I have to be quick to avoid getting bitten and if I have to pick her up for some reason she will lash out. This evening she also reacted aggressively when I tried to pick up her partner Ziggy.
Is there anything I can do or is it just her, do you think?
Thanks x
