I guess technically she doesn’t bite me, but she puts her teeth over my skin and puts pressure on, just enough to let me know that she might bite if I annoy her any more. She’s never actually bitten, but every day I feel she’s getting closer to starting.
The thing is though that its only EVER when I try and take her out of her litterbox or her cage. She doesn’t mind if I pat her, take her food, re-arrange things in either of those places, its just if I try and pick her up. She loves being out of her cage, and as soon as she’s in the air shes fine. Its just the part of getting her into my arms thats the hard bit! Shes the friendliest bunny apart from this, she’ll lick you and go to sleep on your lap, and just follow you around all day. So I don’t think she’s really an ‘aggressive’ bunny. I can’t re-arrange the cage to be on the floor so thats not an option, so I was thinking would just buying some leather gloves be an appropriate way to handle this? Or should I be ‘training’ her not to bite? I think I may have caused this, because she was never like this until she learnt that if she backed herself into a corner and lunged I wouldn’t pick her up. Would buying gloves and picking her up even when she backs into a corner eventually help her understand that biting won’t get her anywhere? (Sorry, I really have no idea on rabbit psychology or anything, hence why I’m asking here :p)
Any other ways I should be going about this?
