Question
My daugther has a lop-ear,latly when she tries to pet it or pick it up the rabbits starts growling and charges. The rabbit has biten and drawn blood from my daughters hand .  This happens in and out of the cage . Is there any thing that you can suggest that will stop this ?  

Answer
hi jeff-it sounds as though it is a doe ?
sometimes does get angry for no apparent reason she may be in season and needs  mating.
see how she gets on in the next couple of weeks , if she is still the same , i'm afraid there is not much you can do.
some bucks go through this stage but normally they are ok.
