[Conejita]

Hello bunny lovers this is myfirst time posting a topic I'm new at this. I have a questionI have a bunny she's about 2 1/2 months (she's my Baby) , she used tobe sweet and nice to everyone, but now that she's getting older she ismean she tries to bite everyone who wants to play with her, If you getcloser to her she tries to scratch you and bite you Is this Normal? Issomething wrong with her? Have anyone had a similar problem ? she is myfirst bunny so I really don't know much about bunnies.Sometimes shemakes that weir noise that the bunnies make when ever they are mad, Inever do anything to get her mad.HELP WHAT DO IDOTO STOP HERGETTING MAD AT EVERYONEshehas everything she needs with me. When ever she's with me she is reallyhappy .

Welcome Conejita! I think I kno why your bunny isacting like this.....is your bunny spayed/neutered? Cause most bunny'sthat get older and are not spayed end up with a bad attitude. Andbiting is one of the main behaviours a not spayed/neutered rabbit willdo as they get older. If you want more info about spaying/neuturingyour rabbit and the behaviours a rabbit will go through as they getolder, visit these twowebsites:

Spaying, also known as fixing andovariohysterectomy, is the surgical removal of a female animal’suterus and ovaries. Spaying is a routine veterinary procedure performedwhile the pet is anesthetized, and depending on the circumstances, mayrequire a night of hospitalization. Most veterinarians recommendspaying around 6 months of age. (Taken fromhttp://www.animalhealthchannel.com/spay/)

It is highly recommended for does that will not be bred as itreduces the risk of cancer in them (ovarian and mammary). I would alsolike to advise against breeding your rabbit, there is enough rabbits inthe world already (not saying you will, just advising). It's a goodidea as it also helps to calm them down.

Welcome to this forum Conejita,my Pepper is asweet rabbit,he's a real playful rabbit.Pepper likes to playwith my stuffed animals that I have,so I ended upgiving my stuffed animals to him to play with.When,I rescued my Aunt'srabbit BunBun My Pepper was so excited and all he did was play withhim,but then we gave BunBun to a good home and my Pepper lost hisbuddy(no more buddy for him).BunBun was not nice back to our Pepper,hewas being aggresive to our little baby Pepper.Maybe sometime we willget a good buddy for our Pepper to play back with him.
