Hello, new to the board and to bunnies!
We recently rescued a palomino bunny who had been abandoned (dumped at night on the local school's step in her cage). We'd never had a rabbit before but she charmed us and we decided to keep her. We took her to the vet, and she's young and in good health.
Chopper is toiled-trained was very sweet the first few days, probably scared too. Since then she's been gaining in confidence - especially since she had her nails trimmed -- and in occasional aggressivity: the nips have become more forceful and there's been thumping and lunges. It seems to happen around 10pm.
She spends the day in her cage (which is pretty spacious) and is out a couple of hours in the morning and 2-4 hours in the evening. We feed her timothy hay and fresh veggies -- going by the book. She also has chew toys but still loves going after the couch.
Could the occasional aggressivity be related to her being young? Will spaying help?
