Hi everyone!
Well, its been about 3 months since i got my dear Midgie. Shes a norwegian dwarf rabbit, about 4 months old, she is not spayed/neutered either.
The problem with this bun is she is horribly agressive! When i want to pick her up out of the cage, i remove her little home to get to her, but she freaks out and will take her bowl and move it around with her teeth! I find this really unnatural. She at first was very calm when i got her, but thats probably 'cause she was scared. Now she is used to her cage and surroudings, and is totally out of control! Also, when i try tofeed her, or move her hay in the cage,she lunges at me making strange grunts!
My mother seems to love her though, being the animal lover she is, she will always try to pet her. The scary part is, she bites her very hard and frequently draws blood! My mother doesnt seem to mind it though, she keeps on getting bit! I, myself got bit once on the wrist, andtwice on the fingers never once drawing blood, luckily.
I dont know what to do! Im not sure what midgie's problem is. Is she too territorial? Ive tried to get her to know me already, i spend time with her as much as i can, school does get in the way ,and i read her a book sometimes, but she seems to not listen to anyone!
Is there anyway i can get her a bit calmer? Im not going to give her up unless totally nessecary, because i think she can be changed!
Help anyone?
Thanks,
Lorsi~
