So let me start with summary of my very well behaved Noriega lol named Meko.
He is my 7 year step bunny, male unfixed. Bonded to a Russian blue cat called Koga.
When I moved in the summer was in full swing no bunny issues. As winter crept in, bunny butt started to be come a mini spraying bomb…just to me by the way. Bolt in to the tiny bathroom, right after my morning shower and….back in the shower I would go.
Door closing and distraction affection patterns worked to defuse my morning attacks. Dead of winter hits and he becomes a rapist of his bother who I had to build safe spots for his naps. Koga randomly in the winter looks like he has a spot of mange on his forehead from bunny nips. This fades very quickly as it warms. Cali had very few cold snaps, thankfully.
Well here the thing, we just moved to Virginia. My once well behaved meko is in full terrorist mode. If I don’t give him treats fast enough or more upon demand terrorist spinning pee bombing. If I don’t crawl down the couch fast enough for loving, spinning bunny. If I am actively loving on him, spinning pee bombing. He chooses 98% time I am the victim, his father is a rare but becoming more frequent survivor of the bombings. So here is the thing, I don’t negotiate with terrorist so I know I have not been rewarding this behavior. I think he knows he done wrong because he runs and gets into his time out pen of his own free will. He even does his apologies when he allowed back out.
I have gone through most causes for behavior issues, I keep his stuff well maintained and keep his smell on them. I am very good about my furry babies, food, cage, loving, toys, and so on. He is health, eating well, normal bowel movements, and we’ll hydrated. He has his proper bunny dream signs, no allergies, and we’ll groomed teeth to claws.
I worry because this is not his normal self, he I think is to old to fix and if not what about the bonding with Koga? I love the little cute evil fur ball but I am a farm kid, I keep seeing slippers and rabbit spaghetti when he sprays me. I just keep telling myself he not much meat and old tough rabbit is that good. I am looking for idea on how to deal with him, other than stew. Is he to old to fix? Is this him going through bunny version midlife crisis? Has he decided that since we moved and I am the only female in the house he gets dibs? What the f#$% is up with my adorable bunny, and he may still make adorable slippers.
Sincerely
Meko’s hostage.
