My Rabbit Bit Me :(

[caseysmom]

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.

It's true. My rabbit Julian wants nothing more then to be held on his back, upside down. However my other 3 don't like to be held and I don't force them to like it.

What I did with Julian is whenever he wanted to come out of his cage I held him. Every time. Eventually he saw me holding him as him getting to come out and play. I found that this helped him to accept me holding him, however with his brother Jaxom no matter what I did he would never accept me holding him. To me thats ok, that just how he is, we interact in other ways.

Hello, thanks everyone, I know this isn't exactly about the topic, but is there anyone that wouldn't mind making a signature of my bunny and cat together for me? I just don't have any program or software to make all the pretty stuff that I always see on some of your siggys, they are awesome!

That's too bad that she bit you, but you just got her so give her more time. ^_^

Everyone is giving great advice.

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!

Cherokee runts and growls ALL the time but I don't realy know what it means .. sometimes he even makes a sad howl sound when I open the door lol it's so cute.

He nips sometimes but only if my arm is in the way lol.
