Why is my spayed bunny aggressive towards others and digging her litter pan?

Question

Hi! My 7 month old bunny, Luna, was spayed approximately four weeks ago (Feb 20, 2018). Her behavior has gotten more aggressive since then. My sister has another mini lop (1 yr old/Unspayed/ Female) and since Luna's been aggressive towards her and my sister (I think because of the smell). In addition, she has been digging in her plastic litter pan and biting it and I need help getting her to stop. It gets so bad/loud that she keeps me up at night. Could use all the tricks and tips I can get. Thx. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | spayed | 7 months and 18 days old | 5.25 lbs

Mature female rabbits tend to be more aggressive than males. Sometimes spay can help, but it can take about 60 days for those hormones to leave the system, so don’t give up hope yet. However, I would not ever expect her to tolerate the other bunny. Some female rabbits Are aggressive no matter what you do. Best of luck and I hope she calms down. Occasionally they will improve if you find a rabbit to bind with- but that takes time. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
