My Rabbit Bit Me :(

[Kalei]

THanks for the advice guys! I do want to get her spayed, its just I don't know her exact age so I don't want to do it too early, but she looks big enough to be 4 months old. I under stand what you mean Aspen and Misty about the rabbits, some rabbits are like that, but not all, I had a bunny years ago that didn't want anything more than to be held all day and cuddled, she liked being loved and held more than she liked being free lol, but all rabbits are different, I am going to get her spayed asap.

If you ever want to be able to hold her, you need to start now, and hold for a little while every day, so she gets used to it, and she knows she is safe when you hold her.

I did that with Miss Hoppy since we got her as a small bunny, so when I hold her, she is calm and happy. When Paul even just picks her up, she is miserable - at worst, she freezes and plays "dead bunny" - but as soon as she's with me, she calms right down.

I would get her fixed like buttercup said.I know in time you and her will have a great trust and she will cuddle with you it just takes time.
So Karen Miss Hoppy is a mom's girl

Not really - she just relates to the two of us completely differently - and Paul is just NOT supposed to pick her up! NOT!

My sisters bunny has been neutered and he still doesn't like to be held much, if you send the kicking or fighting its time to put her down. What I do when I am bunny sitting is sort of lay next to him and pet him, if he thumps his back legs he is not in the mood.

Yes he has bit me too...how else can they tell you they want to be put down.

Thanks so much everyone, you've definately all helped me alot, I already contacted the vet and I am going to set an appointment up in january, that way she will be 5 months old. And I will hold her everyday I always forget that it takes rabbits a long time to trust someone.

Oh and I also was wondering, does giving them treats from your hand make them like you anymore or trust you anymore than they did?

Food is the way to any animals heart

Thats good that your gettin her fixed. I didnt mean that she would like being held after being fixed just that there wouldn't (or shouldn't) be any agressive bitting.

Tedd is fixed and will nip sometimes to get my attention but he wont grunt , lung and bite me.

As far as then being able to hold them? No. Paul gives Miss Hoppy treats, hasn;t changed her mind about him holding her one bit. They are very different crotters from dogs and cats, that's for sure! Gotta love our bunnies!
