Lizzie:
Yes but outside of her cage she is just a doll its just in her cage..outside of her cage shes like a whole new bunny shes wants to be with you all the time she tries and climbs up your leg...its just the cage part.Oh and umm her garession started a little earlier then its expected so like 3 months pritty early.

Karen: Like I said in the above post its just in her cage agression.When I go to get her I put my hand in and put iit on top of her head and then pick her up and she some how STILL manages to bite me And for her cage hmm its pritty big. Do you know the ones they sell at super pet with wheels?? It's one of those. But my mom said no to a new cage.

You would just euthanize a pet for being aggressive? It's not like she is large enough to be life threatening and she hasn't been trained to fight like a dog fight dog. I'm sorry, but that just makes me mad. I have a very aggressive cockatiel. He draws blood and takes chunks out of my hand if I give him the chance. When I adopted him I already knew this and I knew I would work with him, which I do. Re-homing a pet because you can't provide the care and time it needs is one thing and I support that, but euthanizing her seems VERY extreme. Pets aren't just there to be cute and nice and then when they aren't anymore people just think it's ok to give up on them.

I'm sorry that you have to make this difficult decision, but please don't euthanize a pet you supposedly love unless it’s out of love like if she was sick. Re-home her or give her to a shelter that will find someone who can handle her.

For the last time im NOT getting rid of her now!

So let me get this straight. You'd rather put her down than find her a loving home or are you saying you are going to work with her until she gets nice or keep her even if she doesn't? I'm not attacking you. You say you want to put down a healthy animal because of behavior on a pet board, what kind of response did you expect from someone like me. If I have the story wrong I apologize.
There are too many people in this world that buy cute puppies, bunnies, whatever and get frustrated when they don’t train them and they grow up bad. Someone did that to my Jimmy and those people are disgusting and not worth the clothes on their backs. Again, if I misunderstood your intentions or what you are planning on doing with your bunny then I apologize.

Well i am certainly relieved to hear you are going to work with Roxy and give her a chance, please never consider putting her to sleep as an option, it should never be one for a perfectly healthy animal, i used to own a netherland dwarf rabbit, to be honest she was never the best pet, she could be a bit nippy at times, but we adored her and loved her all the same, if Roxy is great out of the cage, then what is the big problem, so she gets a bit agressive when you approach her cage, that is no big deal really is it? it is probably like Karen suggested YOU are invading her territory, so i suggest you get some books or go online and learn about bunny behaviour and continue to work through this problem with Roxy,good luck.

So it's just in her cage aggression? I wouldn't worry about it. She's just a smart girl defending her exclusive territory. Is there a ramp or some way she could get in and out of the cage without you having to put your hand in? Miss Hoppy is a house bunny - gets pretty free reign, just barred from the basement, the office, and the spare bedroom), and her cage is one of those two-level "ferret" cages, so we bought a couple inexpensive plastic containers that we stack so she has stairs to hop up and down. When she needs to be locked in (say, if there are workmen going in and out, or the night our neighbor's house was burning down, and we needed to be able to catch her quickly to evactuate), there is a little door we can latch shut, so that's fine.

Instead of just reaching in to pick her up, yup could get in the practice of reaching in to set down a smalltreat once a day, so she becomes more accustomed to Your Hand in Her Cage = Yummy Stuff. She's a young bunny, with a strong personality, but that's okay! She - and you - can both be trained to make this a happier relationship for both of you!
