Biting, New bunny?

22 11:36:54

Question
I have had my rabbit for a few months now and I decided to get him/her a friend(not sure if its a boy or girl) I brought the new bunny home and my old rabbit started biting him. I decided it wasn't a good idea. I took my new bunny back to the pet store (very sad about that). But now, my old rabbit seems very angry. It has bitten me twice, and just isn't as playful as she (I say its a girl) used to be. I was wondering if the new rabbit was a bad idea and now she is mad at us, or what is up...Thanks for your help!
My AIM screen name is IamMobius8 if you are available on there to talk. Thanks again!!!

Answer
Hi,
  i think your rabbit might have gotten abit jealous cause u had got another rabbit.
She may start biting u cause u may still have the other rabbits scent on you and she can smell it.Just give your hands a good soak and give your rabbit some time.She will get over it eventually.
Rabbits can get jealous just like we can
Show your rabbit that the other rabbit isnt there and give her plenty of love and spend some time with her.
Hope this helps and good luck from Natasha.
