They go through a horrendous teenage phase. Are both spayed/neutered? I have to assume they are, but how long ago?
They will calm down with time, and normally I recommend letting the rabbits come to you and just socialize with them as much as possible at ground level... but with dwarfs, I've done okay with picking them up.
With all bunnies, I like to sit on the floor, put the bunny on my lap and offer a tiny treat. A bit of apple skin, a single oat... As soon as the bunny struggles, though, I let them go. I just keep repeating this. My two dwarfs are my friendliest bunnies by far.
Pipp was a single bun and bonded to me, so she doesn't count.
But with Sherry, she was a cage aggressive, grunting, charging, snotty little thug. It took awhile, but even though she was bonded to Dill and now Marvin, she came around. Now she's always coming up for pets. She always comes when she's called. She's a sweetheart.
But first you have to make it through those terrible teens. You have my sympathy there!
Pipp went from being the sweetest little baby to a holy terror at about six months. She was peeing on my bed, destroying my clothes and terrorizing the cat. She got spayed and a month or so later, she was the sweet little girl again.
Hang in there!
