hi guys,
my doe is becoming a little "teenager" in behavior. when I pick her up to give her lovies, after only a few minutes she starts to root around with her paws on my clothes (so I wear a sweat shirt when I hold and cuddle her). I'll change how I hold her but she keeps it up no matter how I hold her, so I know it's not that. after a few minutes of rooting, she'll turn to hard licks, and from there a nip. it hurts but doesn't draw blood.
is this just a typical stage that does go through? Will getting neutered put an end to it?
my kids and I want our bunny to be a bunny, not a nipping rabbit
thanks for your thoughts, Todd
