So I know this may sound bizzar because baby rabbits have no hormones yet but I really do think my female bun hates baby rabbits and this is why. I have 3 rabbits total. My female is 3 years old, I have a male who is about 8 months old and also a recent adoption baby at 9 or 10 weeks old about.
Well when I first got my fist buck, he was 8 weeks old and she constantly wanted to attack him. She was free roam and he was in a temp cage (I free roam all animals. Not a fan of a cage unless needed) but she would try and attack him threw the bars, bit his ear and was constantly lunging at him and also us.. she wasn't happy at all. But then he hit puberty, his hormones kicked in and she became a calm bunny again. She would groom him and just love on him. We got him neutered and just waiting to bond them.
Now this new bunny, she's doing it all over again. Trying to attack the baby threw the bars of his cage but still being super sweet to the other male.
Anyone else have this problem with their bunny not liking babies? Is this normal and her just being territorial? My plan is to keep them seperated but able to see each other from a distance until he hits puberty and see if that helps them get use to each other. Also putting his scent from blankets or stuffed animals into her room.
Let me know if you have gone threw this!
