        Okay so we sold Danish and Cadbury so I could focus on just Lilo and it’s great! When I take lilo out of her cage she’s very spunky and affectionate…..but when I try to give her food she’ll lunge!!And if I put my hand in her cage she’ll Growl and lunge and even bite!But she’s so sweet outside her cage. . Did I do something wrong??

          Cage aggression is very common in does, especially intact does. In the wild, the does are the bosses of the warren. So it’s a natural behavior for them to defend their home from “intruders”.

          There’s no real cure, spaying often helps but there are no guarantees. Some does keep their cage aggression all their lives. It’s recommended to try and handle the doe as little as possible in the cage and to clean it when she’s away from it (and can’t see it).

            Get her spayed to stop any hormonal driven territorial behaviour and keep away from her cage whilst she’s in it.
