As a side note. She probably will calm down, for a bit. Expect her to seem much calmer right around the time the kits open up their eyes.
But, there is a good chance you will see a repeat of the aggressive behavior anytime hormones spike.
When she's ready to breed or after she's re-bred and pregnant, or when she has a new litter.
There are many breeders who consider the aggression to me "normal" and tolerate it.
and I've also noticed.... that people who have mellow rabbits have a totally different definition of aggression than people who have seen the real crazies, and they don't always understand.
The breeder who sold me the harlis was wary because I said I wanted rabbits who had good tempers. I eventually figured out that her definition of good temper must be a lap bunny, and my definition was a rabbit who didn't lunge at me trying to draw blood. :lol:
I LIKE my lap bunnies.
But I don't NEED them to be that way.
I just want to be able to handle them without gloves, and to not have to worry if my autistic nephew pokes his fingers into a cage.
The pic is my son's pet, Sushi (one of Mucky's offspring), sleeping on my lap.
