Rabbits are creatures of prey and they have developed strong instincts that enable them to escape or fight any perceived threats. If your once docile rabbit suddenly becomes aggressive, you should try to identify what is causing him to behave this way.
Rabbits hate to be picked up, more so when they are improperly handled. Rabbits can also get startled when a hand or object suddenly passes in front of them. Although they may have an excellent distance vision (a prey instinct), they near vision is not at par.
Rabbits show dominance by getting in each other’s faces; the submissive rabbit tends to run away while the dominant rabbit holds his ground. If you place your hand in front of your pet’s face, it may be interpreted as a threat and may cause the rabbit to nip or bite.
Rabbits also hate certain smells. As creatures of prey, they posses an excellent sense of smell.
Bad experiences are also important triggers of aggression in pet rabbits. Identifying and understanding what is causing your pet to behave this way can help address the behavior appropriately.
Since aggression can also be triggered by certain health issues, you should make an appointment with your pet clinic Dallas, GA sooner rather than later.
