Hello everyone,
Need some advise.
I have a 1 year old doe rabbit called Toffee....(Toffee is an outdoor rabbit) Over the past few weeks her personality keeps changing for good and bad...
she was always quite a timid rabbit for the 6 months, i actually thought she was a chilled male rabbit till she went in for her spaying. Since being spayed she's changed on several occasions, at first she got friendlier, less timid, which I loved. I was hoping to get another rabbit to bond her, just after Christmas, but i wanted to take some time to bond with her myself, however a few weeks ago she went through this really needy stage which i loved, I introduced her to a soft toy and she seemed to really love it, i know about spring madness and their hormones can be all over the place this time of year, but the last few days she seems to have gone the complete opposite way now, she doesn't want to be fussed, she's lunged at me on several occasions and growled a few times too. she doesn't seem to want any fuss when i see her like she did at first. She's eating fine, still taking her treats and once I've got hold of her, she's loves a cuddle! she's still very active and doing no signs of illness.
i am planning on getting another rabbit next month to start the bonding process as I was told Spring time would be a challenge, will a partner help with her behaviour? i don't want to do this at the wrong time and cause more harm, especially if she's having behavioural issues, or is she acting up because she needs a partner?
I feel like she's become more bratty since being fixed.
Any advise would be great!
thanks,
Mart
