Jealous Bunny?

[Sam_]

my bigger bunny, brownie doesn't like it when I pet the other rabbit, Bubbles. he will lunge at my hand without growling and put his chin on top of where I was petting the smaller bun even though the big bun gets a lot of attention. Is there a way to stop him from doing this?

Maybe just putting Brownie somewhere else where he can't see you when you pet Bubbles. The problem is, you have so much bunny-love from them both . I'm not sure if you can make him stop altogether. Do you pet them both equally or just bubbles? Maybe you should try petting Bubbles first so that Brownie won't get mad if you stop petting him to pet Bubbles.

I pet them both equally

Try petting them both at the same time?

That's not good......

I read somewhere that you should make a little squeal/yelp sound every time the rabbit bites/nibbles on you to tell the rabbit "that hurts!". (Even if it doesn't really hurt.) I'm sure others will fill you in more on this topic....

You should squeal when he bites you. It teaches them not to bite. When you pet one rabbit give the other one a treat, vise versa.

I squealed when he bit me and he ran off
I think he is just having a bad week
