    I have picked Miss Hoppy up since she was a wee small bunny, so she is perfectly comfortable with me picking her up, but she hates it when Paul does.
    I never was trying to imply a connection between aggression and being picked up. I was *trying* to say that he was aggressive with anyone but my sister and me and, thusly, would not let anyone else pick him up after he became agitated. Hmm, I guess my sis' parentals did not make the wisest choice as he was "the only one sitting all by himself.". Would him coming from any sort of breeder (be it a byb, or whatever? I don't condone that but it was not my decision to make as I did not know about it previously and I was about eleven years old.) make a difference?

    He was about six months old when we got him and Alex (sister) and I were always giving him love and attention. Perhaps that's why we were the only ones to receive it.

    There is so many byb of rabbits that they are just simply reffered to as breeders. They ALL usually have there rabbits in small cages, all different breeds,them being sick, and being caged one on top of the other. Mostly any rabbit from a petstore(wich I'm assuming is where you got yours from) are from suppliers or random people who decide oh lets make Bobby and Jo have babies.So none of them are really socialized properly,you may get lucky when someone takes the time to play and touch and hold the babies from day 1 but not usually happpen. And being in a petstore something bad could of happpend ie. dropped,attacked by another rabbit,smacked,fur pulled/ears/tail any thiing like that could lead him up to being agressive stuff.
