bunny keeps biting thru ice packs

[Everose]

We made boxes out of ceramic tiles and put the icepack inside. Rexes have thin hair on their feet pads, ceramic tiles are cooling all on their own so you can leave the box in there for him to sit on. I raised standard rexes for years, keeping them from getting sore hocks was hard until we used ceramic tiles. The tiles are the one thing they never ate or soaked in urine, the boxes also kept our icepacks in good clean condition.

As for aggression, I've dealt with it many times. While I do believe it is hereditary I am not picky about bucks. Does are another story, a mean mamma will eat her babies purely out of hate for you. Mean does are also less affectionate and their babies are more sensitive to touch, his mother may have been the brat and that's why he's so rude.

Edit: if he's chill with one person it makes me think he just had a bad experience in the past, rabbits remember. I would breed him.

Obviously not everyone agrees with us, but I think rabbits, ferrets and cats with attitude are a lot of fun!

I don't breed animals, so I don't have to worry about babies being killed or attitudes being passed down to the next generation. I had a female rabbit who would terrorize my boy cat when she was in the mood, making him leap up and cling to the curtains! Since she was found running around outside, I knew nothing of her past, but always wondered if she hadn't had babies at one time, and that's why she could be so aggressive. Motherhood can turn even sweet, passive animals into fighters with attitude, even long after the babies are grown. I've seen that with stray female cats I've rescued.

Why get rid of a nasty bunny? The fact that he is a nasty bunny is the best reason I can think of.
