Bunny Temper

Question
Our 10 month old bunny has just recently started growling, hissing and jumping at us when we clean out the cage and throw away the old bedding, hay, etc.  Why is this happening and what can we do to stop it?

Answer
Hi Ruth,
 Sounds like aggression....If your rabbit is handled lovingly and a lot, this behavior shouldn't happen.  If he/she is handled often and is use to gentle  human contact then neutering may be the best option for you.  As males, and sometimes females become territorial and this turns into aggressive behavior. Good luck with this, Elizabeth
