So my fluffy little lop mix hates me, bless her heart. And by me, I mean every creature on two legs, and by hate I mean is terrified of. I've been trying to get her to warm up to me for months, and I've mostly just come to the conclusion that she's never going to want me touching her. (Though she is oddly fine with climbing up on me to get veggies, or if I'm just in her way).
Anyway, she was flopped out on the floor earlier, and I decided to try and be social. I lay down next to her and slowly started petting just her forehead. She was still flopped out, but I could hear a kind of medium-loud grinding sound, and I wasn't sure whether that was her doing a bunny pur, or her telling me to get out of her space.
She's not an aggressive rabbit at all, I think she's just traumatized from past owners. I still haven't been able to bond her with my other rabbit, partially because while she won't act aggressive towards him, she flat out refuses to groom or go near him.
But yes, sorry for the ramble. My question was how to tell if her teeth grinding was the content one, or whether she was just extremely uncomfortable with my presence. Thanks for any and all advice!
