Big Ears, Big Hearts: A Bunny Blog

@bigearsbighearts

My name is Angela and I created this blog with the intent to show what great pets rabbits can be and to educate people about proper rabbit care. I have three pet rabbits of my own, Foxy, Duchess, and Jelly, and used to care for the rabbits at the Burbank Animal Shelter. Please check out the links on the left-hand side of the page.

Hello, I hope you are having a great day! My bunny is not very well-socialized, but I am working to fix that. However, she has a habit of, after I’ve been petting her for a while and step away, rushing at me with her teeth out (sometimes nips me) and grunting. I feel that this is a sign she wants more pets, and while I don’t want to neglect her I also don’t want to reinforce negative behavior. Do you know why she does this, & do you have any ideas for constructively working with this behavior?

Has your bunny been fixed? I find that that resolves a lot of aggression issues. However, this can also be very expensive so I understand that it isn’t an option for everyone.

What is her living area like? Is she free-roaming, in a pen, or in a cage? Sometimes frustration over having too small of a living area can cause negative behavior.

Have you tried just sitting with her and having more indirect interactions? Petting is great, but so is just hanging out. Sometimes I think bunnies forget that we can get up and move, lol.

You can also try rewarding good behavior with treats.

Kinda unhappy with this one, had too much story/ideas in my mind, but too few pages lol. Anyway, the message is still important. Rabbits often suffer from poor keeping and are often abandoned, especially around Easter time.

Update on sweet bunny Caramel! The poor bun got stitched up and is home with her owners. It’ll be a long road ahead but donations are coming in and hopefully the vet bills will be covered.

Update (from link): Caramel is on close watch and the swelling in her face is slowly going down. Her poops are normal size and she is eating and drinking but has only peed once since being home. If she does not pee soon the owner will have to take her to the vet again to be expressed. The vet bill for the surgery Caramel needed is very large.

Please continue to share and please donate if you can. This bunny is so young and the owner recently lost another, much older bun to long-term health problems. That bun’s vet bills drained the owner’s emergency vet fund. Please help this baby and the family that loves her.
