        Good Morning!

        I apologize if this has already been covered. My Fuzzy is 7 months now and is getting neutered Thursday. He is REALLY challenging right now because he will not use his litter box and sprays constantly. However, the worst thing is he “love bites” me ALL OF THE TIME!! He isn’t trying to hurt me, but it hurts….lol!! Does anyone know if this will stop when he is fixed? He is relentless…lol. My legs look like pin cushions!! No matter how much I try to get him to stop; he won’t! ANY advice is so appreciated!!

          Just getting him fixed should solve your problems. Give it some time after the procedure for his hormones to calm down and he’ll be like a brand new bunny.

            Just like any training of animals (or children!) you can present your feelings with a short sharp ‘OW’ and simply turn away and ignore him.

            You must do this EVERY time, consistently, so he will understand you don’t like it. The ignoring him will be enough ‘punishment’ in his eyes.
            When he does approach you gently and lick you or not bite you, be sure to reward with a “good boy” or even a small treat.

            If it’s fingers which get bitten when your hand approaches his face, don’t forget that you should approach from the side of his face!
            Bunnies cannot see directly in front of their little cute faces. (eyes are on the side so they can check out who’s approaching from behind instead!)

            You may see an improvement after the neutering, but it’s not an instantaneous change.

              Thanks so much you guys!! I really hope the neutering helps!! I can’t do anything with him right now. He runs loose usually, but since he has gotten so challenging, I decided to put a pet gate up in front of my spare bathroom and keep him there. The first gate, a wooden one, had holes chewed through them for his “escape” within days. So I blocked the holes. He was still getting out! I watched him & he could actually jump over it!! So I bought a bigger, metal one-received yesterday. He was in there 5 minutes at the most and then back in here with me….lol. I think he climbed this one!! I am at my wits end!! ?? I do have a small cage I could put him in, but it is too small. He doesn’t have room after I put the litter box in; he can barely turn around! That seems cruel after he has been able to go anywhere he pleases!! SOOOO……hopefully after Thursday he will calm down a little!! ??
