a lot of bad behavior is age-related also. even bunnies that are altered may exhibit rambunctious behavior up to or past the first year mark. but i believe you said that Willow is older than a year and possibly 2 years old… if that’s the case, it sounds like this behavior is not something that will be “grown out of”. your best friend right now will be excellent bunny-proofing (make the bed off-limits!), and close supervision when she is not confined.

I have penned her off and now she is in a small space when she is bad or gets on my bed.

did i miss something? why cant u get her spayed? sorry i think i missed something, anyway i found hopscotch got bad about 4-5 months old and then as he got older about 6-7 months he went back to, well not his normal self, but alot closer.

there’s been discussion in the bahavior forum regarding this. i think it’s called attacking rabbit or something. check out that thread for more info K&D…

oh thanks, i always check the lounge first so i will go check it out now thanks beka

Serious attacking problems. yes i am being totally ruined by my bun.

it really comes down to the fact that rabbits are grossly misunderstood as pets. they are not cheap to feed, they are not low-maintenance to care for, they are not like cats where you can leave them alone for days and they’re fine, they’re not like dogs that shower with affection, they require expensive vet care in order to live for their full lifespan. with all of this being said, i don’t think that they are good pets for children, or for people who not self-sufficient. others may or may not agree with that, but that is my belief. there are teenagers/young adults who do everything “right” and are excellent bunny owners. it can be done. but it also requires a commited parent/guardian behind-the-scenes. you can have a rabbit with much less, but it’s not always ideal. when you ask on THIS particular board we’re going to tell you what WE have done, what works for US, and what is recommended by EXPERTS in the subject. it is the same advice that we give everybody. you ahve doen a great job getting her into the house and caring for her up to this point. what happens next is up to you. if you’re unable to care for her, i’d strongly suggest you find her a home where she can get what she needs.

okay so are you saying i shouldn’t have my rabbit?

no. not at all.

What Beka said is if you are unable or unwilling to provide food and medical care for your rabbit you should think about rehoming her. Though I do feel sorry for you, it seems that you get taken advantage of with the free babysitting. It makes it a little difficult for you to go out and do something to earn money like we’ve suggested.

I can I just can’t get her spayed why don’t you understand that?

we understand you cannot get her spayed right now. that’s not what we’re saying. i’m not sure you are really listening to what we are saying, and it seems as if you want us to have some magical cure that just does not exist. we are all trying to help you and be respectful of your situation. in my first post in this thread, i said “your best friend right now will be excellent bunny-proofing (make the bed off-limits!), and close supervision when she is not confined.” i did not say anything about getting her spayed. that is my advice to you. then a couple posts down you said that you are being, “totally ruined by my bun.” that sounds as if it’s becoming too much for you to handle. you don’t have to get her spayed, but please don’t expect a drastic change in personality or behavior. if you can love and accept her how she is at this very moment, then that’s great. if you cannot, i’d suggest you find someone who is better equipped to deal with her. that’s all i’m saying on the subject.
