Hi
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if I could get a little help. I recently adopted a 7 month old Flemish Giant bunny, Wallice, who is mostly wonderful. The shelter staff told me he was really sweet, but just didn't like to be picked up.
He has been a little nippy with me and one of my roommates. It seems that when i'm around him, he demands to be pet, and if i'm not doing it constantly, I get a nip until I start up again. I've tried doing a high pitch screech when he does it, but it doesn't deter him. Is it because he was stuck in a little cage with no attention in the shelter that he craves so much affection now and demands it of me? Is it because of his age? Hewsa neutered recently, so maybe his hormones need a little more time to settle down?
Any help would be great from people with adoption experiances, or any experiance with this breed of bunny. Thanks!
