Introduction: Understanding Male Rabbit Aggression

Aggression is a common issue in male rabbits, and it can be alarming for pet owners. A rabbit that was once docile and friendly can suddenly turn aggressive, making it difficult to handle and care for. It is essential to understand the causes of aggression in male rabbits to prevent it from happening and manage it effectively. In this article, we will discuss the various factors that can cause aggression in male rabbits and how to address them.

Normal Rabbit Behavior: Signs of Aggression

It is essential to understand the normal behavior of rabbits to identify when they become aggressive. Rabbits are naturally prey animals, and they tend to be timid and shy. They may exhibit certain behaviors when they feel threatened or scared, such as growling, hissing, thumping their hind legs, biting, scratching, or lunging. These behaviors are usually defensive and are a rabbit’s way of protecting itself. However, when a rabbit becomes aggressive without any provocation, it could be a sign of an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
