Hi Rabbit Experts, 

I am in desperate need of advice:

So we got all three of our rabbits together when they were 4 weeks. They’re now about 16 months old and have all been neutered – we have 2 females Pluto and Sylvester (my brother named her) and one male Voldemort so named as he is an albino. they’re all pretty tame and affectionate – they would come and sit on your lap or use you as a climbing gym. Voldemort was the most affectionate, coming and falling asleep on you and only waking up to lick your hand.

 Anyway about a month ago suddenly Voldemort wouldn’t let anybody pick him up, he’s been really grouchy and won’t show any affection unless he thinks you’re about to give him food. I’m writing this now because I went and tried to pet him today, I put him on my lap and his pupils dilated dramatically and his teeth started chattering really loud whenever I reached to pet him?! 

Anybody know what to do? Suddenly he is terrified of me and I don’t know what I did to cause this or what I do to fix this? help

Welcome Blue!

So all 3 are living together? Is it possible they had a tussle and it’s left him a bit skittish?

Yeah, all live 3 together but they always have. It might be but he only seems to be sacred by me – he’s fine with my brother petting him and picking him up

Hmmm… bit odd. Have you started using a new personal product with a scent he might not like? Worked with stuff that could make your hands smell? Changed hair style even?? Have you been around other animals much?

I grew my hair out? it was shaved when we got them but that’s about it
