Aggressive lionhead Rabbit

Question
Cashmina is one year and 3 months old, she is extremely agressive, she bites, grunts and pounces and that is just when you go to feed her.  She hates being picked up and fussed, I have always given her alot of attention from the moment I got her.  She is go agressive the vet has even shown me how to pick her up and I cant even by the skuff she wont let me she goes mad.  Can you give me some info on agressive rabbits and what to do.  It isnt very common.  Thanks

Answer
Has she been spayed?  An unspayed female rabbit can be extremely aggressive, and will continue to be like that until the hormones all get out of her system.

If she is spayed, then you might check out the info at http://homepage.mac.com/mattocks/morfz/rabcare.html#aggbun on how to work with her.

You also might consider not picking her up for a while, until she quits being so aggressive.

Aggressive rabbits can be very difficult to deal with, if you can get them to calm down they generally become very affectionate.

I have one that used to bite me all the time, now every time he sees me he wants petting.  It took time, but, I thought he was worth it.
