This video is all about how to groom an aggressive rabbit. My bunny Ebony was a rescue who had bad experiences with humans in the past; because of this she gets very nervous and can show aggressive behavior when being groomed or approached by humans. This video is all about how I manage to brush her, clean her scent glands, hocks, etc. Enjoy!

I think people forget just how complex rabbits are. If you live in the same house with one or two you realise just how intelligent and sensitive they really are. I think Ebony loves you and you did extraordinary well ! You have provided a great home to a rabbit who would otherwise have been discarded. You should be proud!

I think this is one of your best videos. Rabbits aren’t always cuddly and easy to manage. They need love and patience. My girl does that grunting too and hates being groomed or handled but I’ve learned how to manage her and wouldn’t trade her for the world. People have to see all aspects of bunnies

My rescues hated being touched at all, the thing that helped us bond and eventually led to them being ok with pets and limited grooming, was some advice I found in the library. When they are grooming themselves or each other sit down and brush your hair with them :) They were so confused at first lol. But after the second time the bravest one, princess, came over to sniff the brush. After a few times more she started demanding I use the brush on her :) then the other more timid one came around a little, though I never could get them to let me clip their nails so we did regular vet visits :)

I really appreciate you sharing this. I completely understand why you didn't show us earlier - she's your baby and you don't want anyone saying mean things about her! But Ebony is very clearly just scared, which is not her fault. I've gotta groom my buns today and they hate it. They don't try to bite but they make their displeasure known - Pinecone shuts down and Berry tries to run away. But Pinecone is a lazy lop so someone needs to clean his butt and, unfortunately, that someone is me. 😅

I guess she went right up to some people who were like "that's not a wild bunny" (she's a Netherland dwarf). They took her to the owner of the patch who said "oh there's a breeder next door. Their rabbits get out sometimes." Well Berry was in pretty bad shape so instead of taking her back to the breeder, the people took her to a rescue. And now she's our Berry Queen.

Until we brought her home and she was extremely aggressive and territorial.

It’s amazing you rescued ebony and gave her probably the best rabbit home there is, not many people would have tolerated her aggression, so there is absolutely no need for anyone to judge you! I’ve had a few rabbits in my past, and fostered cats too, I’m a dog person though and don’t really get much benefit from a cat or rabbit relationship, so I don’t have them as pets of my own. However, it’s not always about that- when you’re rescuing, it’s often not about you, it’s about giving them love and security, even if you may not ever receive the love back, like you said, you still love and care for them, and enjoy them anyway. I think that’s amazingly noble.

I've followed you for a while and I rescued my female holland lop in December 2020. She has been such a handful because she was abused/treated wrong before ending up in the shelter, and I have been dealing with her aggression since (she was about 9 months old and is now 1.5 years old). There have been many times I have wanted to give up, but I have the same feeling that someone else wouldn't give her a chance. She has since improved after spaying, but still has triggers that I have slowly learned over the past year. It is so nice to hear a similar situation because I love her so much, but hate that not many people can approach her.

My 'sweet' boy who passed away a couple of weeks ago was really aggressive. I adopted him at 6 months and he was already super aggressive. He also mellowed out when he was bonded with a bunny friend. He was never the bunny I went to to pet or cuddle, he didn't like it. He would grunt and stomp and lunge. He only ever bit my dad who ignored his behaviour, and he only ever bit me once during a grooming session. I adored him with all my heart and I hope that he is happily hopping around in bunny heaven, loving the lack of humans and being reunited with his bonded friend.

His first couple months with us were not fun for him while we treated his horrific wounds. I’m convinced that because of his experiences with the humans that abandoned him and the ways we had to care for him, he’s very fear aggressive with us. I’ve been putting off nails for far too long. This is so how Mr Sawyer responds to us trying to groom him. Makes me feel better, less alone in this. Again. Thank you!

She is the lost twin of my female rabbit alice. but that's how it's some times and we have to love them either way. So thank you for showing this side of owning rabbits, maybe after this some irresponsible ppl don't get a bunny before thinking of all the bad you may have to handle

God bless you for giving your bunnies such a wonderful home. They couldn't have gotten a better bunny mom, you're a great role model for everyone that wants a bunny. You and Lennon are my favorite bunny parents online 💜

P.s. if your rabbit doesn't love you just get more rabbits until one loves you XD I have three and it costs 62 USD every month just in hay for them all, but still worth it

Yes to more videos about this! My rabbit is a little aggressive, not at this level, but I know numerous people who rescued rabbits who never liked humans. It's important to talk about it and nice to get some tips.

I have three rabbits: dad, mom and their daughter. Dad’s response is to freeze, he’s not really touchy, but takes it well; daughter is a little mischievous, especially now that she’s a teen. Mom always was the nervous type, but during and after pregnancy it got worse. She doesn’t bite me anymore, just grunts and runs away if I do even as little as swing my hand in her direction. The only way to get her near you is to give her food haha. I’m not affectionate person myself, so I understand her wholeheartedly. My tactic was to just chill with them in their room, and they grew accustomed to me. Sometimes mom even lets me to pet her, but only in their house, on the head and with the back of my palm. She’s really cute and I love her as much as other rabbits 💕

I’ve been watching your content for years since the Mocha days and hav had bunnies for ten, but today was the first time I saw this video and followed every step, I had the best grooming session ever with an elderly “nippy” but and she was purring by the end and giving me nose bumps on my nose. Amazing please keep the videos up!

This video certainly helped in knowing im not the only one! My bunny, Panda, is mostly sweet and interactive, but he hates being groomed and carried. But i respect that as his behaviour, therefore while grooming we take our time and be as gentle as possible.
