I have an aggressive rabbit,and many web sites say to treat him with positive reinforcements. What are positive reinforcements to a rabbit?What is positive reinforcement to a rabbit?
My bunny used to be aggressive too! To build his trust, speak gently to him and give him a treat once in a while, like a small slice of carrot, or some mint leaves. Play with him more on the ground, so he doesn't get it into his head that you're a predator. Have fun with him! :)What is positive reinforcement to a rabbit?
a cuddle or a carrot (or any kind of treat he likes) should be good :) Also if you speak in a calm warm voice and use his name is good, as he will know you are happy with him. Good luck i have a rabbit just the same but shes getting better :)
My rabbits respond to fruit treats in small quantities (e.g., slivers of gala apples which are sweet and healthy) as well as petting on their favourite places (e.g., cheeks, behind the ears on the neck). Royal Gala Apples is number one at our house!
(On the aggression point: try to act like a rabbit yourself. Let him play on the floor and go on the floor with him. Pet him on the floor, don't lift him. Over time, you'll build trust and his aggression may not be as bad).
Cheers,
JJ
