My Rabbit is Very aggresive and has been her whole life?

I don't know why and if you could give any suggestions please doMy Rabbit is Very aggresive and has been her whole life?
If she was never spayed then that is it. Her hormones cause her to be aggresive and grumpy. If you can, I would get her spayed. It makes them alot calmer and un-spayed females have an 80% chance of getting reproductive cancer.





Feel free to email me with other questions you have showmyrabbit@yahoo.comMy Rabbit is Very aggresive and has been her whole life?
What exactly does an aggressive rabbit do? Gnaw on your pinky? Buff your shoe with it's tail? Hop at ramming speed? Poke you in the eyes with it's ears? Shake it's whiskers in defiance?





With dogs...when they are aggressive, you're supposed to calmly, but forcefully put them on their back and force their tail between their legs. This is their submissive stance. This tells them that the alpha (you) don't want them to be aggressive. After a few times of this, they should stop.





I have no idea if a rabbit has a submissive stance or if they have alphas, but you could try it. Maybe you could get one of those shock collars that allows you to hit a button to shock him/her whenever he/she is aggresive.
Rabbits that aren't neutered are likely to be Aggressive,Territorial,May Mount objects etc. 80% of Does(Females) over the age of 4yrs are likely to contact Uterus(Womb)Cancer. Which if not caught soon enough will end up Fatal. Neutering should stop Behavioral problems(such as Aggression),plus will eliminate chances of her getting Uterus Cancer.


She won't change otherwise.Or its very unlikely for her to.





Hope this helps %26amp; happy 2009!xxx
How old is your rabbit? If it is becoming a problem you can talk to your vet. I have a dog that shows some anxiety fear aggression when people visit the house and my vet perscribed some medication for her.
something might have happened to her when she was younger and it would take a lot of love and time to change how she acts
Some rabbits are just aggressive by nature. Sounds like you got one
