How to calm my aggressive unneutered rabbit before neutering?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered

Leo is 3 months old and so as yet unnetered. His behaviour is really brash he likes headbutting bitting and when he does snuggle he tries to burry himself into me. Is there any way to calm him down a bit before nuetering. He also has started sneezing alot and grunting in my face too. Thanks

Oh, Naughty Leo! These bunnies when they are not neutered can be really trouble. I would suggest that you just get him neutered now. He is old enough for it if both testicles have dropped and he is acting hormonal. There really is not much you can do to calm this down- try putting him away when he is being really sassy, try setting him down and walking away if he head buts you or bites you. Make sure he has lots of toys to play with or destroy.
