My bunny is about 5 months old and is an unfixed female. I don't know what to do about her panic attacks. She will seem fine and happy and then all of a sudden flip out and start frantically running around. When I am holding her she will be happy, cuddly, playful... then she seems to get a little nervous and I try to take her back to her cage but she squirms frantically and goes crazy and has been scratching me really badly. I am also worried she will get hurt trying to force herself away from me during a panic attack. She does this alone in her cage too, she just randomly starts running around frantically. I thought there could be something scaring her, but I honestly can't find any pattern. I really love her, but this is becoming more of an issue now that she is full size (she scratches me so much I bleed and it can be really difficult to not drop her when she is panicking) and it makes it hard for me to bond with her outside of the cage. I don't think the issue is me because when she is normal she cuddles into me, licks my hand and shows all the signs of a happy bunny. She also likes my cats and will play with them, so it doesn't seem like they could be triggering the attack. I really need help fixing this issue
