Rabbit Biting Me?

[mistyjr]

My 12 week old Black Dutch Doe...
Sometime when i feed her she will nibble my hand, last night i cleaned there cage, and let the Doe's out to clean there cage and she come up to me and bite my shirt and run off and kept coming back for more. So i tapped her nose and told her no, but she kept doing it.

Why she doing this?

Thanks, Misty

Maybe she wants to play with you. If she nibbles and then runs away, try following her and poking her or lightly pinching at her. Some rabbits love to play tag.

I'm moving this to the Rabbitry Section where you'll likely get better answers there from the people who deal with it on a daily basis!

I get nibbles, nose bonks and the like when they're saying 'hi!' -- or 'you're in my way.'

Pipp is a terror, she loves eating holes in my clothes (which started AFTER I gave her a blanket to nibble on -- 20/20 hindsight, should have been a willow mat or a stick or something).

She will run off and turn and look at me -- its a game with her.
