Chinny has started growling at me

[Rowena]

And it doesnt matter where she is! In her cageor in the room. I went to catch her to put her up tonight, and she keptgrowling at me and running. I had to chase her into a box to catch her

Once back in her cage, I needed to move something in there and she growled and tried to scratch me

[Rowena]

Yes Im planning on it. Shes not even 4 monthsyet. She'll be 4 months on the 12th, and isnt it 6 months they can bespayed???????? I think we might be in trouble :shock::shock::shock:

My vet did my Holland Lop when she was three and a half months old, but I can understand waiting until they're older.

Hang in there!

I think it depends on the vet and their experience. My little(and I mean tiny) Star was spayed at 5 months. I was told itdepends on their development. I think she weighed just over 3pounds when she was spayed. She lost a little weight duringrecovery. Now, she is putting that weight back on.

Ill call around and ask. Not sure who doesbunnies around here. I was wanting to get her done after our move,which we're hoping will be in July.....But if her behavior continues toget worse, Ill have to figure out something. I dont want her gettingaggressive with Caitlyn, and with her growling at me, Im worried abouther with Caitlyn. If she bites Caitlyn, Caitlyn may not want anythingto do with her...

[mini lop luva]

Awww wat type of breed is she ? hope it all goes well xx

 

Rowena , By chance are wetalking about sayy perhaps aDUtch rabbit ? if so Ihave seen them little buggers comeinto the teen years at 11 weeksold and have the stinking scarto prove it lol , If it isa Dutch be sure to mention thisto the vet , for some quirk ofnature Dutch seem to mature a lot fasterthan normal rabbits .

 

[BlueberryBunbun]

Hope you get it sorted out Virginia! Good luck - my bunny is all moody right now cos she's 3 months, and she's not been spayed.

Good luck - Blueberry x

 

[Rowena]

Yes she is a dutch. Caitlyn picked her. I tried to get her to pick a different rabbit, but she would have none of it lol

Virginia

 

LOL I thought so, them little bandedbrats sure know how tokeep us in our toes lol ,. Dontforget to mention to hte Vetshe is Dutch , she should bevery near delveloped internally tobe able to be spayednow lol . little brats ,I do so love them tho, they certainly have characterlol.

 

[Kricket]

I think Dutchs do mature faster! My vet tech neutered my male at 4 months...

Chinny sounds alot like nibbles and she is goingon 5 months and she growls at me all the time when i take a toy away orwant her out from under the bed.. i just growl back sometimes and pether to calm her down... but she only growls those times... and i thinkshe is just going through he teens...

I wouldn't worry to much about it..

I thought it was hilarious the first time she growled at me... it was the funniest thing ever.

Hopefully all bunnies will grow out of their growling/ teen stage!!
