I adopted a bunny a few weeks ago! She's a cross between a french lop and a Netherland dwarf and she's super cute, but she's so IRRITABLE! She seemed really affectionate in the store but I feel like she was just playing nice to get someone to take her home ha ha. Every time I put my hand in her cage she freaks out and attacks me. I had to get my boyfriends mom (an experienced bunny handler) to cut her nails so she couldn't draw blood!
Is it normal for a bunny to be so protective of her things? I mean, she attacks me when I put food in her dish, clean her poop, give her hay, touch her chew stick...I think she seriously hates me. I put an old tea towel in her house so she had a soft bed to snuggle in and she decided to pee on it yesterday and now she smells like a barnyard. My boyfriend was on the floor holding her when I reached in to grab the towel (ya know, so I could wash the bunny pee off it) and she FREAKED. She bit him, shot across the room, dove into her house and then bit me for touching her bed!
Is this normal bunny behavior?! I thought she'd settle down after a week or so once she got used to her new surroundings but jeez! I love her but I don't know if I want to keep her if she's going to be like this...so basically, if she's going to be the polar opposite of what I thought she was when I bought her. I need some advice from other bunny owners!
