Hi everyone, I've got a little 7 week old lopcross called Gingernut (small size rabbit) and even though he has thesweetest nature, and will fall asleep if I cuddle him on his back likean infant, he still has the super annoying habbit of nibbling andbiting my hand if it's ever in front of him or he deems it to be in hisway. It doesn'ty hurt much but I see it as him being verydisrespectfull, and when he does it I sternly say "no!" and move myhand but he seems to enjoy it and thinks it's a game.
What would you reccomend? His teeth are fine and he has plenty ofthings to chew on. He doesn't do this to his mother rabbit and she bowsher head in front of him for a lick numurous times a day. Does he thinkI am below him in the pecking order? Or is he just being cheeky andpushing his boundaries? I want to transition him from being an outdoorrabbit to a house bun but am getting sick of him biting me every timehe see's my hand.
*edit* Oh! I just thought of another thing that might help. He had abrother and two sisters who have gone to other homes during theweekend, could that be contributing? IT's only him and his mum in thehutch now.
