Exploring the pasture
This may seem like a dumb question to most, but I must ask. Can bunny aggression be passed to the young from a parent?
I noticed some behavior from my Havana doe lately. She's been grunting here and there at me, and last week pawed at my daughter's hands as though she was trying to scratch at her. I've been watching her posture and behavior and kind of get the feeling she's having a confrontational body language. I had to remove her from her cage today to clean her box. She has this "don't come in here" attitude; if that's such a thing. She was raised by another young girl in 4-H. I've had other rabbits in the past, but I never had a Havana before. So, I don't know if this is common with the breed, or if it's just her. She's around 6 to 6 and half months old.
Any thoughts or opinions of this would be great to hear...read.
