14 week old rabbit

Question
My female bunny has started to nip us. It is only my husband and I. We think she was only 7 weeks old when we bought her.
Is there any solution to stop this before it gets bad?

Hello, Teri

Well as I did say I cannot answer all questions but I try my best to help! So this is what I am not an expert in and trying with all my expirecnce to help!

I am always in favor of petting an aggressive rabbit, ignoring their moods,sounds and lunges. However,there is a right and a wrong way to do this.You want to be safe and minimize any biting. Some people wear thick gloves when they are first approaching a tough bun. This will help protect you if you get bitten. Once your confidence is up, you can probably do without them.Since rabbits lunge and bite forward,the trick to petting an aggressive bun is to approach their head from above. I place my hand directly above their head and then move it straight down onto the ears.I gently press their head down, and will stroke the forehead with my thumb. If this works out well, I will stroke the forehead with several fingers and rub the base of their ears. Remember to always keep your hand behind the mouth. If the bun resists or tries to lunge up at you - don't act timid and back off. Firmly tell them no and gently press their head to the floor. Do this several times each day. While you want to pet them, don't pet them for too long. You want them to start liking it, but leave them wanting more.

Now that you have mastered this, it is important to understand the behaviors that you are seeing. Some rabbits don't trust humans and will react to any action by a person. Others have a "trigger" which activates the behavior. They typically are just being protective. For example, some buns love their humans but they just don't want anyone to touch their food or litterbox. Others are fine outside a cage, but don't want anyone in their cage. If you can determine the "trigger", it is easier to work with the bun. When I have a rabbit that is possessive about their food, rather than fight them over the food dish, I distract them. With my left hand I start petting them, and then with my right hand I put food in their dish. If your rabbit doesn't like you touching the litter box, then clean the cage when he is outside playing. Some rabbits react to the scent of another bunny. If that happens, make sure you wash you hands and possibly change your shirt before approaching your rabbit's cage. Try to minimize acts which will trigger the aggressive behavior.

If your rabbit is just generally aggressive, you should try to get your rabbit used to you. Every time I walk by the cage I talk to the rabbit in a calm, soothing voice. You can even sit next to the cage and read a book out loud. This will enable your rabbit to listen to your voice for a period of time. Give them some treats in a safe manner (such as through the cage wires) so that they associate you with good things.
