Luna as of recent has become.. suddenly unbearable.
I'm guessing this is maybe apart of her grief, and I feel quite useless on how to even help her. its even difficult for me.
she follows everybody around like a dog which is quite cute to see and will sometimes sleep in the middle of the room where we are. its quite a nice thing to see, even quite cute how she enjoys following you to the kitchen and back. she's become almost a free range bunny apart from night where I really can't have her out so she goes back in. but even so, that is around 10/11pm at night from being out at 9am or earlier, depending on when I wake.
but that's changed the past two days quite badly. this evening is where I really did get annoyed, I've had a god awful stressful day, cleaning out Luna's poop area downstairs, and she just runs at me from the other side of the room and wham, teeth in my finger. this seemed to have happened when I moved her tissue box (I say hers, its empty, but she seems to get satisfaction from throwing it around). and now I have a very sore finger that bled quite a bit.
she charges at people and the cat. often she will then try to sink teeth in when she does. she will be grunting too.
its now very much a fight to pick her up. sadly I can not just let her run upstairs and guide her as I am paranoid of the broken stair we have. some panels are missing on the big one, and its just on by the fabric covering. I'm worried she'll jump on it and fall through, and sometimes the cat sleeps on the stairs. there are also wires I have no way of moving. its generally much safer to carry her. and if anything. she seems more than happy. her ears are often forward and even would jump into my arms when I asked her "shall we go to bed?" now though, its changed. I spent a total of 10 minutes trying to pick her up. all she kept doing was going for my hands and even quite aggressively ran at me as I gave up and walked away.
her old behaviors of digging on people, even biting them, have returned. I got her out of doing it when she understood it was a no-no and it hurt. she's become more of a little brat, that is the only way to describe. she will pee on my bed, the sofa, any wires she will chew as if she knows what they are. all of the old "bad" behaviors have come back. she also knows they're bad as I taught her out of them pretty much.
its like I've gone back to the day I just rescued her. that little 6 month old bunny locked away in a tiny cage with no toys, food, water. the little scared bunny who peed out of fear when i approached her, who didn't know what grass was, birds, planes, cars.
I'm at a loss and really quite frustrated :? is there anything I can do? or is it just a wait it out type of thing?
