Hey all. So we adopted a beautiful , not sure breed ,female Rabbit in Oct. She been a little skittish, slowly becoming acclimated (she was a rescue from an owner surrender and was in not the best situation) Would lick our fingers, sometimes face, seemed happy. I had her spayed a little over 2 weeks ago. She in process of being fully litter trained. She has a large cage and hutch as well as a large pen to run and play. Buttercup has toys, plenty of fresh greens/vegetables , hay. Honestly spoiled I think. She seems to have gotten more aggressive. she nips all the time, sometimes chomps hard. Today she bit my side as I was sitting with her in the pen, scared the bejesus out of me as I was totally not expecting it. I yelped louder than I should, but I have a ridiculous reaction to most things
I said “No, Buttercup” and she legit freaked!!! Running in circles, sliding into the cage and then started thumping her feet! Loud and for a long time. She seems legitimately terrified of me. I left her alone, but closed her cage because she was freaking out. After 15 minutes I tried to put some fresh greens in and she lunges at me, started thumping again. Im so sad Is there something that I can do to reassure her, calm her down, make her happy???
Any kind advice is welcomed
