One of the major reasons might be that your pet has not been neutered or spayed. Whenever you buy a baby rabbit, you will notice a sudden change in his behavior or personality once he or she attains the age of 3-4 months. The cause of the change of the behavior is that he undergoes a hormonal change and age of reproduction. During this phase, rabbits tend to become territorial and resists being picked up. Thus, you should not try to touch it too much. If you want to make him happy then you should put a nice treat inside the cage.
Female rabbits in particular get rebellious and they growl sometimes. Many pet owners assume that the rabbit is mean and they want to get rid of it as soon as possible. However, once it passes this phase he will cool down and will return to its normal composure. So you have to adjust to his changing habits when he is in the transition phase.
It might be very much possible that your rabbit is sick. Changing behaviors is a vital sign of medical fitness. So if your rabbit is showing a nasty behavior then do check whether he is ill or not. He might be in pain. His eating bowl and litter box are the two areas which you should check, any change in the regular eating or filling habits needs to be checked. Even small problems like mites and fleas may upset your rabbit. To counteract this, you need to get the medical checkup of your pet done.
Another reason might be that your rabbit is under some stress. Sometimes rabbit is not too comfortable with the presence of other pets. Sometime barking dogs tend to irritate the pet rabbits and thus you should make sure that they are comfortable in their cages or homes. Noise causes irritation in pets, thus make necessary arrangements. In this case, you have to move the cage to a silent room.
Rabbits are silent, soft natured and loyal. They also love to play and interact with people. All they require is little love and care and everything will work for sure.
