        I think it’s mainly just being protective of his cage/territory.  He’s neutered and maybe 5-6 months old.  He lives with his girlfriend who’s spayed, they get along great.

        Suddenly when I go in the cage bottom level to put food in or sweep it or whatever he comes at me and growls – sounds like a little piggy to me, lol!  I usually just start rubbing his ears.  I can’t act afraid of him.  

        do you agree he’s probably just protecting his home?

          Yup and it sounds like you’re handling it right, too, not to let him bully you. Many people wait until the rabbits are out of their cage to monkey around inside it. My big lug just lets me do whatever I need to, but many rabbits don’t like that.

            ya, they don’t get to come out as often as I’d like so I have to be in there some.

                Sounds normal to me! If you can drop a treat when you start that may make your hand reaching in a good thing, and he may lessen his protective behaviour.
