Hi. I've had my female bunny Wheezie and her brother Hefe since they were 12 weeks oldand they are now 9 months old, andgot fixed at 4 months old.
She has always been very independant, has no fear, and is definately the leader of her and her brother,and theyget along amazingly.She cleans him, mothers him, is usually curled up next to him, and is only aggressive with him once in a while (chasing him orlunging at himevery once in a while).
I have been holding them and loving them since the day I got them. Hefe is so sweet, mellow, likes being held, and has no mean bone in his body. About 2 months ago Wheeziegot more aggressive for no reason and nowwill lunge at and box me like a crazy crackhead 80% of them time I go to pet her, put food in their cage, etc. She never bites, but makes "the sound" (wheezie squeeky toy sound).
What is odd is that she will do that (boxing lunge with noise)and then put her head under my hand and stay there if I pet her. She will stay right there as long as I keep petting her. As soon as I move my hand she lunges and boxes my hand again.
I can hold her in my lap and she doesn't seem to mind, and is adventurous but sweet while I hold and pet her.
Why is my bunny doing this? Is thereanything I do to make her more loving like her brother (perhaps holding her more)?
Thank you for helping me out with my crazy bunny problem!
