Are Rabbits Territorial?



Like most pets, rabbits can be territorial at times. Rabbits may feel threatened by the other rabbit and even lash out in an attempt to keep his home safe. If your rabbit is used to being on his own and then another one is added he may also be territorial when it comes to food. Your rabbit is used to his routine and his food bowl. When another rabbit is introduced he may fight to protect that food bowl and push the other rabbit away. If your rabbit is on his own and is territorial with you then you need to address it. If he lashes out for food, hold the food back until he calms down. Feed at the same time every day so he won’t think he has to fight for it. Talk to your veterinarian Marion, IA for more tips on how to recognize and address territorial habits in your rabbit.
