Happi Bun

Dealing with an aggressive bunny sure isn't what you imagine when you bring one into your home, but it can happen. When a rabbit starts to show aggression it's quite startling. Your cute and supposedly docile friend is suddenly growling, lunging, and even nipping at you. These problems are not always helped with neutering. Altering your rabbit will take care of the hormones, but this will not resolve the issue if hormones are not the major cause behind the behavior. It's important to keep in mind that your rabbit does not hate you and helping aggressive rabbits become happier companions can be a very rewarding experience. Often times the aggressive rabbits are ones that are very intelligent.
The following short video (by Dharam Barrett) introduces us to Nancam, an aggressive spayed female that is making her humans lives very unpleasant. Dr Scott Miller is called to help calm this bunny with an attitude and give insight to her behavior. Miller studied at the University of Queensland Veterinary School. Graduating in 1997, he began his veterinary career working at the largest animal hospital in Australia, the RSPCA clinic in Sydney. After a years experience treating all creatures great and small, he returned briefly to work in Brisbane before venturing to the UK. Working all over the British Isles before settling in East London, Scott ran a sole man small animal practice in Mile End for four and a half years.
