Rabbit Behavior - What's Normal and What's Not

Rabbits are also capable of displaying aggressive behavior. If you have a pet rabbit, you should learn to distinguish which behaviors are normal and which ones are undesirable, so you can take steps to nip the problem in the bud before it can become a deeply ingrained behavior.

Nipping in rabbits is a normal rabbit behavior. It is a way by which they communicate. However, you can teach your rabbit to stop this behavior by yelling out when he nips at your fingers.

Biting or swiping is also another normal behavior in rabbits. You may have been on the receiving end of this behavior when you try reaching for your rabbit inside its cage. Rabbits are highly territorial creatures; your pet thinks you are invading its territory by putting your hand inside its cage.

Aggressive behaviors in rabbits include chasing, attacking, and biting real hard even if it is not provoked. These undesirable behaviors start to manifest when both male and female rabbits reach puberty. Neutering and spaying are effective in eliminating aggressive behavior in rabbits.
