Some buns seem to have a nasty steak in them thatway. My daughter's ND can be a handful for her, but I tend tobe more forceful with him , so he is less sure of himself with me.
Some breeders will not breed any rabbit that demonstrates a nastytemperment, in the belief that it is an inherited trait. Iwould tend to agree with them on that point. Be that as itmay, the fact remains that you have a biter, and what can you do aboutit?
Neutering may help. I've also used the pinning method, withsome degree of success, but I do tend to be forceful andstrong. Not abusive, just very quick and not at all hesitant.When I pin the rabbit, I talk to it, saying I am the the alpha rabbit,boss rabbit, big kahuna rabbit and it must accept that fact of life andNOT bite me. I also imagine myself and it, in asuperior/iinferior mode because there are those of us here, thatbelieve buns can "read" our feelings, our "energy," or "kharma," if youwill.
I've found that the occasions I've had to do that to my "biter" bunhave become less and less as time goes on and I cannot remember when Ilast had to do it. If he makes an ykind ofaggressive move, though, I am quick to respondwith my alpharabbit mode, lest he think I am weakening.
Some people claim one should "kill" such a bun with kindness, and theywill eventually get the message you love them and will cease theiraggressive behavior. I've not had the patience, nor painthreshold, to support that opinion, but I will throw that out to you asanother option.
The "ouch" theory worked for me when young buns "nibbled" at me with"love bites" because they didn't realize they were hurtingme. Whether is was the onset of maturity, or my "ouching" inpain, they eventually got the message and refrained from nibbling asmuch. That was different, to me,than the aggressive biting my"biter" used to do, and which I beleive your bun is doing.
I wish you luck. I know how disconcerting it can be and howbothersome it is to be unable to trust your bun with other people andchildren, if it is a biter.
