As in all animals species there are time to time "bad blood genes" I raised and showed rabbits for 9 years. In that time I did see about 5-6 bunnies that were just mean. some to the point of killing ever litter they had. I found the Dutch and Netherlands were the most likely to be aggressive. Over bred just as many dog breeds are. I'm glad Roxy is being given a chance in a new home and that a new bunny was there for you.Teddy is so cute.

I don't want to get involved, but I want to say one thing. I don't know about this particular situation, but I do know that some shelters will let you 'exchange' a pet. When we adopted Roscoe, they told us that if he didn't work out we could bring him back within 30 days or something like that and either give him back or choose another dog. They want to make sure that the new pet fits in well with any other pets and kids/people in the house. Now, I don't know anything about exchanging a pet that was not previously in the shelter, but I would imagine that they would do it. Just IMO. Good luck!
buttercup132, i like you and i don't want to be mean, but maybe you could have spent a little more time trying to help her? I know that it must have been heartbreaking to give her away, and bunny bites don't half hurtbut maybe she could have benefitted a little more from a bit of training. I used to have a bunny named Cookie, and we bought him a little rabbit lead hoping to take him for little walks around the garden and cul-de-sac etc, well, at first he would not have it and would wriggle all the time. When he got older and stronger, he would physically try to tear it off his back and would swear at me in bunny ;anguage and stamp his feet. I didn't want to be cruel forcing him to put it on, but i gradually trained him with it, starting by just putting it on his back without fastening it, then under his belly, and each time doing something extra. It took 2 and a half months to train him fully, and then he really enjoyed going out on his lead. I could never have imagined him like that before i trained him. All i'm saying is it can be done. But, what's done is done, and good luck with Teddy
