Hi guys, I’m wondering if anyone can shed some light on female territorial behaviour? My rabbit is neutered (was in April when she was 4 months old) and is usually VERY friendly – not nervous or aggressive at all. She’s only bit me once when I was giving her antibiotics, so I didn’t blame her then? she likes to sit up on the top of the sofa and be stroked in a morning/evening – she even licks me and my boyfriend regularly each day on the nose, and although she is litter trained for wee’s, she does do quite a LOT of poo’s when she’s up here, so this is making me think she’s trying to mark our ‘territory’ as hers… But last night she wee’d on the sofa my boyfriend sits on, and tonight she bit him! Completely unprovoked, she showed no signs of distress because he went to stroke her as usual.
Should I be worried about this behaviour? And how can I delete it so it doesn’t become a habit?
To add, she’s completely free to roam our living room when we’re in, and goes in her enclosure at night. I’m just worried because this is out of character for her
Thanks in advance!
