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.Originally Posted by buttercup132
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!
