My bunnies friend hates me !!

Hi there ! Im new to the Forum ! And i have a tricky situation ......
I have two bunnies which are both spayed named Teacake and Susie .
They are both bonded and love each other
However Teacake is very close to me and is EXTREMELY tame ! Though Suisie HATES ME!
i have tried bonding with her separately but she bites and is very aggressive so she prefers rabbit company .
The thing is i have VERY strict parents who will not let the bunnies be full time house rabbits and i have tried everything , however they have agreed that they can free range in my room at night ,but they have to go outside in there hutch whilst im at school .
Though , every time i put them in my room susie attacks me ... LITERALLY! She chases me and bites my ankles .
My parents suggested bringing only Teacake in at night time and reuniting them whilst im at school , so they still get to socialise .
Is this a good idea ? Or not
Anymore suggestions ??????????:wave:

It is best to leave the rabbits in one area rather than in and out. Also that isn't a good idea at all if the weather is cold as the difference in temperature could cause your rabbits to get respiratory problems. Rabbits are territorial animals and moving them in and out could cause them stress. Does the aggressive rabbit act this way when she is outside?

Agree with tonibun - also separating a bonded pair for any reason is asking for trouble.

It’s a tricky situation - is the aggressive rabbit spayed? If not that would totally explain her behaviour and it could be reduced ( or even eliminated depending on her age) if you have her spayed. Also, if not spayed two female buns could fall out at any time even if they’ve been together years.

Sorry missed the spayed bit :thumb:

Another thought - I assume you’ve tried the food bribery taming methods with the aggressive one? Wear thick trousers, long sleeves and gloves and sit often the floor with the rabbits - have irresistible treats and feed them to her when she’s being calm. If she sees your other rabbit taking them she might learn?

As Tonibun and Orangediva have said, your rabbits really need to be kept either indoors or outdoors and should not be separated otherwise their bond will just breakdown and you will have even more trouble.
Do they have a large run permanently attached to their hutch, so they have plenty of space to run around and use up their energy?
Do they have plenty of hay so keep them occupied?
Also, many rabbits dislike being picked up, even when we do it carefully and correctly, and perhaps she is anticipating being picked up?

I’m thinking this ^ is your answer. A big run you can go in with them that they have 24/7 access to - hutch bunnies can be very aggressive or so I’ve read.

In winter it would be very dangerous to boring them in at night and then put them out in sub zero temperatures, they won’t grow proper winter coats that outdoor bunnies need to survive.
