    Guys I REALLY need some support asap

    Roxy just seems to be TOO agressive I got her spayed and it didnt help, you stick your hand in her cage and she tries to rip your hands to shreds..So I think its best for us to either have her euthinized or give her to someone who knows how to fix her agression or that will out up with her...I just dont know what to do...
    It's like having a agressive dog but see theres places out there that help that and still then even some places cant...I want a bunny I can love not be scared of...

    yes. But my bunny group had convinced me to try a few methods with her , there all kinda teed off at me right now for saying that i might give her away.. but I can see why.
    I'm in shock to what my mom just said! She said that I should get rid of her and I told her no and she said shes just a stupid animal! I cant belive my own mother just said that!! Well now I'm not speaking to her so tuff luck for her.

    Sorry you might have to get rid of her. Maybe phone your vet and ask if there are any bunny rescues in your area. Someone might be able to help. I had a female bunny a long time ago and she was aggressive too. I have a male now and he is sweet as ever. I know Miss Hoppy's a girl and I don't think shes aggressive.Good luck with whatever you choose, but try to find her a home before resorting to euthanizing her. Maybe someone from PT lives in your area. Post in pet general.

    I dont care what my mom says its not her bunny so she cant tell me to get rid of her. I decide on my own before that I might give her up but I have now decided not to.

    My old rabbit I had, Spring use to be mean like that, and bit your hand real hard, and make it bleed. I don't have any advice but I know what you mean. I gave her away though, because she hardly got any exercise, and the lady would give her a way better life, she was rabbit crazy and had like 25 rabbits. (also a big yard for the bunny to go, and huge houses) It was really hard the first few days I keep crying, because I missed her, but after a few days I realized she was having a better life. (the lady even sent me pictures) Good luck!

    good for keeping her, maybe she feels threatened when you stick your hand in......perhaps try get her out with some treats or stick your hand with a treat so she relates something good (food) with your hand in her cage......maybe is a teritorial issue, but who knows i´m no rabbit expert but you can try that.........

    Is it just a cage issue? Or is it all the time, even out of the cage?

    I know almost nothing about rabbits.. but, is there any such thing like.. rabbit behaviourlists?

    I'm really glad that you are working on this issue and doing your best. How long ago was she spayed? I think it takes a while for the hormone balance to settle down. I agree with other posters that think putting your hand into her cage might be seen by her as aggresive and that drawing her out with treats might give you a better chance to interact with her and build up some trust between you.

    I am so sorry to hear this! I had a duck that had aggressive problems we got rid of him to a home that shows ducks and know's about ducks behaviors. Are other three ducks are the sweetest after the other duck left. I know it has nothing to with bunny's.

    I hope you can find out how to take care of the behavior problems. your in my thoughts.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    If she is always aggressive when you put your hand in her cage, how about just leaving her cage alone?

    I only go in the rabbits cage 2 or 3 times a week for cleaning, she probably just doesn´t like you ¨invading¨ her territory.
