"Shes here have to clean myself before I go talk to her."
"Wait where she go."
"This way!"
"Lets play follow the leader."
"I am hungry"
"Want some?"
"Taste good!" Muffled voice.
"Does my breath smell?"
"I bow to the queen."
"Smell my breath again?"
"Can I lay down with you?"
"I am hungry again."
"Nap time!"

[align=center]What can you do when you have an aggressive rabbit?[/align]
When you think of rabbits you picture this cute little thing. Something
you can hug, kiss, and just love on to your hearts content. That isn't
exactly true.
For starters rabbits are prey animals. So there is your first strike.
Then add previous owners. Did they treat the animal right? Did they give
them everything they need? Were they handled correctly or even at all?
Asmy then fiancee and I planned our future the topic of animals came
up. I wanted a dog and he wanted a rabbit. Well July 8th, 2005 I had the
day off, feeling a down because my attempts at finding a dog were
unsuccessful. I figured why not call the pet store. Yes, they had a few
rabbits. So when my fiancee came to pick me up, I said we should look. Not
like we had to get one. Of course he held one and that was it. It was a
little ball of white with black fur.
The next day we are surprised with a flemish giant. We knew our friends
meant well, so we would give it a chance. That first day we put the
rabbits together. We named the flemish giant Samantha Jane, the little one
we called Ringo. The first few minutes were ok. Suddenly Samantha
started to chase Ringo. We were shocked but quickly caged her.
At that time I was only at the apartment on weekends. The following
weekend I went to change her litter pan and she nipped me so hard I
screamed. It left a bruise. I figured I scarred her, so I let it go.
I should add that I knew nothing about rabbits, and had no regular
internet.
On one hand we had Ringo. A ball of energy who was the sweetest thing
on this earth. Always exploring. On the other hand we had her, who
nipped me a few times drawing blood. She nipped Ringo a few times. One time
making him bleed. We started to talk about sending her back. It was
hard we had Ringo who was the sweetest thing, still is. Then we had her,
who truly scared me. I would not go near her or her cage. If he let her
out I was in the other room with Ringo. I was scared of a rabbit!
When I found out she was from a shelter I said one way or another I
would keep her. I kept thinking in a few months I would be living there.
We would see then.
We were married October 1st, 2005. By that time we had them three
months. As soon as I moved in I started to do research online and found some
helpful groups who were more than willing to give me all sorts of tips
on how to work with her.
I started by leaving her cage open with treats just out of her reach so
she had to come out. Each time leaving them a little farther. I would
lay down near by hoping she would come to me. I would read, letting her
hear my voice. I eventually was able to pet her. Each time the petting
lasted a little longer. One day while I was sitting on the floor she
came over begging for treats. Thirteen pounds of bunny crawling over me
for treats. She now crawls all over me for fun. She will go to sleep as
I pet her. All this has gradually happened over the last year.
Thanks to Ringo and Sam, we have four other rabbits. Connor Grayson a
dwarf mix, Teresa Mekare a netherland dwarf, Dallas Jones Jinx a holland
lop, and Elvis Aaron a dwarf mix. Samantha tollerates the other
rabbits but gets along with my dog.
I would say to anyone who is having problems just give it time. Don't
give it up. It's not easy gaining the trust of an aggresive rabbit.
Even if they don't come all the way around it is amazing to be a part of
their life. Rememberthat sometimes it is hard to trust another person.
Now step into that rabbit's paws and see how hard it is to trust someone
who controls your life. Although it seems more like the rabbits control
our life.

I really like what you wrote about having anaggressive rabbit. It is SOOOO true! You need to give them time tolearn to trust you. (You also have to do the same thing with a timidrabbit).
Tiny will never be an affectionate rabbit and that is really hard forme to deal with sometimes. I love him so very much - and he brings me alot of joy.
But he doesn't like to be held. He doesn't like to be petted unless I'msitting on the floor or unless he's on the floor having treats and Ipet him from above. He does like ear rubs and will let me do thatsometimes.
But Tiny reallyi prefers to either lay and snooze with a doe by hisside (can be any doe I'm finding) or to go outside and play. My familyis amazed at how outgoing he is becoming. He will come running out andnudge us to get our attention if he wants something.
As I was typing this - he came running out of the bedroom to get us totake him outside since he heard us talking in the living room. That isthe one way in which he is somewhat "people-oriented". He knows heneeds us to put him out.
But it took me months to get him to this point - and sometimes it hurtsto know he'll never be a "people-bunny" like my lionheads are. He'llnever cuddle with me (most likely)...
But I love him anyway.
And I didn't mean to hijack this thread - just say that Alicia is right- it takes time to build that trust. You may not always have the bunnyof your dreams - but the rabbit can learn to trust you and not beaggressive.

That is what I was aiming for. I want people tosee that there is more to them. It might be put in the rescuesnewsletter they plan on starting.
Also I want people to repond. I honestly thinkthatSamantha is still coming around. For the first timetheother day she was out when we hadvistors.Normal thing is she will get upset so I put her in her pen. Iwanted to see so I left her out. At first she stayed on the other sideof the room. After awhile she came near my friend. Than hid but heyit's progress.
