Excessive nibbling

[Malo]

My rabbit, Smudge, is a sweetheart, but recentlyhe has started nibbling on me too much. I have small bruises on myneck, arms, and he has also been picking at my clothes. Any idea of whyhe is doing this or how I should stop it?

Disclaimer: I don't have a bunny yet

But...

I have read in some of my books that screeching loudly will helpbecause the rabbit learns that biting has negative consequences.

is that all for suggestions?

Malo,

Try placing your palm on top of his head and saying "no" in a low, butsternvoice. When you put your hand on their head,it shows who's boss.

I've also found that if you say "ouch" loudly, they get the picture.

First has the little one beenneutered ,

It is basically a groomingtechnique , hterabbit is showing affection, They will groom each other mutually ,If He hasnt been neutered iwould think its coming on tothe time he should be ,He may start showing aggressive(sexual) behavior before too long .

Yes, he isn't neutered and I have been thinkingabout raising money to pay for it myself. How much is it usually? Iknow my mom will not pay for it, unless I come up with a plan with herfor payment. Until I do this I will try the hand on head thing.

Thanks
