she is doing that because she has a caged life and sees it as the only thing she owns. so she is not happy about anything coming into her space, just as adults get to make that decision
@@fairmaiden6472 She was aggressive when I bought her and was trying to have her learn that she was safe. She was doing really well but passed away while giving birth.
I 've had Bunnies as pets for thirdty some years and have never had an aggressive bun. When i hear about this b.s. i immediately know that the bun is unhappy in its environment. They detest cages and small confined spaces. If a female gives birth in horrible confinement, yes they will spare their off spring. No animal likes to loose its mobility and freedom. Like the human animal,its becomes depressed and revenge full. Buns need twelve hrs a day free roaming exercise.
I agree, they need be free.. not all time, but will change rabbit attack for sure. She are like" yes a like you but i need run and jump" allow them doing that, and you will see a new and happy bunnie😉
If she is not thumping or growling any more, and is checking your scent your doing good. Damn taking food from your hand already. Her aggression was from fear not cuz she was a bad rabbit.
@@FoodForThought., i'd say that guy doesn't even know what he is talking about. I have seen horrible living conditions for rabbits, mice, etc and yours is nowhere near it.
Thank you for this video! Our Ruby bit me without provocation yesterday. She always loves pets and greets me happily, but did not like me putting my arm all the way in. I will try this before we do anything else.
How long are the bunnies in the cage per day? Maybe the aggression is coming from their living environment too. Try letting them live with you in your home maybe, like a cat or dog would :)
Thanks for the great video! I have a friend with an aggressive rabbit and I'm trying to help them. Thank you for showing the process with an aggressive bunny.
Some rabbits just have an aggressive temperament. Most of the rabbits I had over the years were pretty tame. One of my 4h projects was almost impossible to handle though I worked with him daily. Then we had a crossbred doe that would try to bite almost daily. It was worse when she kindled. Excellent mother but she would bite the tar out of you if you didn't watch.
Great stuff, know a few females like that. I got 9 doe's and 5 bucks. I had a wicked bite off my doe luna. SHe had 7kits while back. Now I got so many. Boys off to vets on the 28th. Great to watch your vids. I love rabbits and my life revolves around caring for them. I cured my rabbit of a terrible eye injury where my thumb nail badlly damage the eye. Flighty doe turned head and it was a hellish injury. After a lot of meds that didn't work a massive cist develop and the vet decide on eye removel. One day before pop I used 6 percent dmso in distilled water in the eye. It completely destroyed the cyist and mending the horrific deep scaring. Dmso is sulfer and very powerful. I'm using manuka to clear an eye infection reacuring with distilled water as well as a teabag wash once a day. The eye in my French loop had a weeping and small lumps under the eye lid and around the eye at the moment. I like to use a small hand held nebulizer on my bunnies. Silver water and saline. They love it. They drink activate charcoal slurrys and apple cider. DE earth I use a lot. Cannabis for them as well.leaves and roots and sticks. I'm making manuer out of their waste.
@@FoodForThought. never seen a rabbit that really liked to be touched and their history with human’s IMO has always been a bleak one. Even in the wild they’re all nerves for good reason, everything’s trying to eat them.
It’s sad that people view rabbits so differently to dogs or cats (I know they are predators and rabbits are pray animals) but rabbits can be litter trained and provide great companionship, given the right care. It just isn’t fair to keep them confined, they should be able to act on their natural instincts and live their life. All you really have to do is set up an x-pen or get some c&c grids with reasonable space with comfortable flooring. Wire flooring may not be a good choice for the bunnies health if they’re genetically propositioned to developing sore hocks. It may be easy to keep clean but image if you had to walk on those wired flooring barefoot for a long period of time, rabbits do not have padding on their paws. Bonding with your rabbit may also be easier as you can just sit in the x-pen with her. She’ll have an opportunity to approach you and explore you, it will help her feel more comfortable with you. It’s probably not a nice to have hands coming towards you randomly throughout the day even if they are bringing you food. This whole video just makes me feel sad.
@@FoodForThought. I’m just saying that seems like a really sad existence being in a relatively small cage where she can’t run or do any natural bunny behaviours. It looks like she has no mental stimulation at all rabbits need enrichment too, she must be bored out her mind sleeping her days away.
Thank you for your opinion, but you couldn't be more wrong. None of MY rabbits have ever been aggressive. This is a rabbit I bought from a different breeder and not treated well. But thanks for the comment, that shares out my videos.
Possibly lack of handling, some people buy rabbits for breeding and the only time they touch the rabbit is when they are going to be bred. Also aggressive owners can make them like this.
Similar case to my pet bunny but mine is when everytime i try to feed him and taking her food bowl to put a pellet on it she wil do honking noise then she gonna bit me but her bite is not hard that cause a wound/bleed, so what should i do? Any ideas how to avoid this kind of behaviour that my pet bunny would never do it again?
The easiest way to avoid for aggression is to add a J feeder, that way you can feed from outside the cage. Is she aggressive if petting her, or just with the food?
I had this breed before, absolutely terrible temperament. I worked with my rabbit for 3 months hand feeding etc, ended up culling her. I also had a new Zealand red too also horrible. I had rex rabbits male and female never had a problem.
This was the first New Zealand rabbit I had that was nasty. I got her from a young girl that picked her up by her ears. That would piss any rabbit off and make them protective of themselves.
I do if I can't rehabilitate them. She was aggressive because of the way she was treated by her previous owner, so I needed to show her that not all people are cruel. Unfortunately she died while giving birth, so it wasn't completed, but it was going well. Please give her a thumbs up.
Rabbits should never, ever be kept on wire, even if you’re only keeping them for meat, it injures their feet. I can guarantee that none of your rabbits are happy if they’re all kept like this, even if they’re not actively demonstrating it like this one is
If you watched the video, I told you that I did not raise this rabbit from a kitten. They have such large soft feet that the small holes do not affect them. The only time I have ever had problems was with a rabbit that had a solid floor and got urine burns. But thank you for your opinion.
@@carltonbanks4312 they Will eat them and then a trip to the vet for surgery........to remove them from their digestive tract.....they are made of Plastic and Cotton that's been treated with a chemical absorbent .......
@FoodForThought. Wire cages DO affect rabbits hocks (hind legs) no matter the size of the wire. Their feet aren't like horse hooves; they are very soft and require solid flooring for traction. If your rabbit got urine burns it was either not potty trained (which is 100% possible with bunnies) OR it didn't have an adequate toileting area.

Rabbit don't belong in small wireflore cages. They need a lot of space to run around. No wonder she is angry with you. You are mistreating her!

It's to your credit that you put in the time to settle her down. Food is the great motivator . They like a good brushing too. 🙂
