Aggressive rabbits tend to give off warning signs before attacking. Warning signals that you should watch out for include ears that are laid flat against their head, thumping, nipping, charging, boxing, and growling. Catching these early warning signs in time can help avoid escalated aggression and help ease the situation. Be extra observant with your pet’s body language. If you notice any warning sign, stop, and try to assess the situation. Some of the top triggers of aggression in rabbits include noise, certain movements (such as moving quickly), invasion of space or territory, improper handling and dangerous odors.
Rabbits are wary of noise, quick or sudden movements, or anything that is coming from above. Bad experiences from a previous owner or in the shelter can also be a potential trigger. Being prey animals, rabbits have excellent distance vision which makes it possible for them to quickly react to the presence of predators.
