Hello!
I've had my rabbit, Miffy, since January 2008. Shes grown a lot since i've gotten her, but recently she has become aggressive at times.
i've been told this may be because she has not been neutered?
she gets plenty of love and attension, yummy food, a fair amount of fresh veg.
anyone help me on why shes so moody sometimes?
i should stress that most of the time shes very lovely and loves to cuddle me
hope you can help!
thanks!
heres a picture of her incase your all curious!

My bunny makes funny growly noises sometimes...i just put it down to him being moody sometimes! he isnt netured either.

Get her spayed, female buns are very hormonal, 80% of unspayed does contract cancer of the uterus too so its i her best interests alround to get her done. 2 of my does have been very aggressive pre-spay, they were fine after.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven, And bring you home again.

Totally agree with your answer.

My female Rabbit used to growl at me when I moved her bedding and food bowl, she'd go to charge at me and then growl, it was all a big bluff though - she never bit me. I just put it down to her being hormonal and not liking me touching her things! lol

P.S she's a very pretty bunny!

I had this problem with my rabbit. She got to about 6 months old and her temperament changed. She wouldnt let me touch her at all. It was almost overnight that the change in her happened. I had her spayed and what a difference! She is back to her old self. Still has her moments but females do! They are prone to cancer too so best all round to have her done. Good chance to get her teeth trimmed whilst she's under as they suffer terrible problems if their teeth grow too long.

Well my rabbit, Rini, is about 3 and was a perfect angel until she was spayed :/
She started spraying so it needed done but she completely changed for the worst afterwards, wouldn't let anything get close to her chest, could let her near the guinea-pig anymore cause all he wanted to do was cuddle her. And if you put your hand into the cage infront of her (or sometimes even when she's out) she will charge you and growl, batting your hand with her feet.

Now I know some people say not to move your hand but I dont really want an animal that can chew through wood, biting my finger off.

Thing is I dont know whether she would bite or whether its all just bark... but I dont have a fake hand to test her with :/ obv

So I'm at a loss what to do, she's not a one for being handled too much. And she definitely thinks she's in charge as she only comes to you when she wants and will try to get away if you go to pick her up. And she doesnt normally come out of her cage for that much, she has a period of days when she is more confident then she goes back to antisocial skittish mess, and she'll jump out, hop a step or two, see you and run back in :/

I just dont know what to do, she's an indoor rabbit and I make an effort to spend more time with her but it's hard when I'm sitting in my room and she doesnt even come out :/

Any advice? Think she would bite? How to stop it? Would help alot really :/ Sorry for the rant

I would suggest getting her a friend. Rabbits are social animals and like to be with other rabbits. Unfortunately, us human just don't match up to another rabbit
