Question 6: My rabbit is acting aggressive/bit me! What is going on and how do I stop this?!

Answer:   Often aggression is hormonal. If you're not planning to breed your rabbit, you need to have him or her neutered or spayed immediately! Even with that, it still may take weeks or months for bunny to calm down. There's also the possibility that it's behavioral. Always speak gently around your rabbit, they hate loud noises, move slowly, and pet them gently. Never hit your rabbit or any other animal! Not only doesn't it work, but it can make the aggression worse, with good reason! Never pet them on the nose first because they cannot see your hand and that will frighten them. Remember we are dealing with a prey animal and they are designed to do anything they can to survive. When petting your rabbit, place your hand on the ears first, making sure he/she can see your hands, as his eyes are on the side of his/her face. If there is any sign of aggression, slowly remove your hand unless it is in immediate danger. Your safety comes first!
You rabbit could be frightened because there is a lot of activity in the area. First and foremost, you need to think like a rabbit! Activity can mean danger in a rabbit's mind. That's how they survive! Never chase your rabbit or allow children to chase it! Always find your rabbit when it is still and pet it slowly and gently. Chasing a rabbit will create a timid or aggressive rabbit!
