Never Touch a Grumpy Bunny!

Product Information

If your rabbits are kept outdoors in a hutch, they need the space to be able to hop, stretch out fully and stand up on their hind legs. But a hutch alone is not enough. You need to ensure your rabbit gets time to run around and play, so invest in some temporary fencing or a run so they have enough room to lay stretched out and move around in the great outdoors. Make sure they get mental and physical stimulation Review Your Rabbit’s Diet: A healthy, well-balanced diet is important for all living things, but it rings especially true for small herbivores, like rabbits. Thanks to their unique physiology, rabbits must have a near-constant intake of fiber to keep their specialized digestive tract running smoothly and keep their constantly growing teeth worn down. If their diet is inappropriate or insufficient, it could lead to a host of health concerns, which may manifest as aggressive behavior in your little one.

Since you’d be calling out your rabbit’s name now and then, it makes sense to give them a funny bunny name. Your kids will surely enjoy it and once a while, your rabbit might also pull out a hilarious move to send you into fits of laughter. They have over 100 million scent cells. Compared to humans with about 7 million scent cells, their noses are more sensitive. Hormones: Like moody human teenagers, a rabbit’s bad attitude is often hormonally driven. Rabbits tend to be quite territorial by nature, and if your rabbit is still intact (not spayed or neutered), an intense desire to procreate makes aggressive behavior much more common and difficult to deal with.Unfortunately, the first type of behaviour i.e. inherited, is not usually helped by castration, which leaves the owner with a dilemma, although there are various viable options for coping with such a rabbit. Often simply not handling a grumpy rabbit unless absolutely necessary is enough to calm things down and let him gain trust and confidence in the fact that he is not going to be hauled out of the hutch or pen every time someone approaches. This is fairly reasonable when you come to think of it, as most rabbits do not like being handled much anyway and would rather be running around on the floor! Consult a Trusted Vet: As mentioned above, any time your furry friend exhibits behavior changes (aggressive or otherwise), it is best to speak with an exotics veterinarian who is well-versed in rabbit care. It is helpful to bring a list of behaviors you have noted and any corresponding activities or environmental changes that proceeded your bun’s quarrelsome demeanor.

If you get creative, you can construct many punny bunny names based on their burrow, what they love to eat and the burrows they live in.They can still think that they’re pregnant. This is a phenomenon called “ false pregnancy” a.k.a “ pseudopregancy“ I had one rabbit, Tenshi, who would pointedly ignore me for four to five hours after I clipped her nails. If I tried to give her any kind of attention, Tenshi would immediately hop away from me, making sure I knew how upset she was. When a temporary grudge becomes a long term behavior pattern Following the steps below will help create a safe, comfortable, low-stress environment, and is essential when establishing a mutually positive relationship with an ill-tempered rabbit. Keep it in corners that your rabbit can reach. If you’re able to, make them dig for it by covering it with hay. Teach them the right thing to do by telling them to stop. Get up and walk away from them when they bite you.
