Yea they do that. I had a a netherlan dwarf and SHE never growled. However I had a holland lop and HE did it all the time. They were both fixed. I dont know the specfics but yup they growl.

the rabbit is in a new place and is scared. it just wants to hide. that is normal. If you are going to let it out, you should just leave it alone, but keep a close eye on her so she doesnt get into anything or chew any cords. Let her go under the bed if she wants to.
She will come out when she feels a little more a t ease. You have to give her time.
They like to chew on clothes, of whatever else they can get thier mouths on.
And growling is normal too. That is her warning you to stay away because she feels threatened. She will probably bite if you keep pestering her when she is scared. Just a warning. I have been bitten by ALOT of animals.

The rabbit is in a new environment so growling is common~ when he goes to the corner~ hes hiding~ try opening the cage and immediately holding him for a while~ then letting him get out and play! hope it all works out!

My brother's bunny used to growl, bite, and thump. Once he even peed on me when I wouldn't put him down. I'd recommend giving this bunny as much space as possible until he's ready to be friendly. My kindergarten teacher's aide told us to put one hand behind a bunny's head and one under its hind legs for support.
You also might have your parents talk to the school. If the rabbit isn't happy and gentle, having him for a class pet might be bad for him, kids, and the school.

My rabbit does that,she's a female lionhead rabbit. but we breed her and she has very wonderful loving, babyy bunnies. she only growls because shes tired of her children chaseing her for milk. She also gets mad if we pet her in the face. But that bunny is probolay just adujusting to a new place and learing and a little bit scared. dont' worry he/she will get to know you better soon.

Yep! Territory is between the biggest issues bunnies extremely care approximately. while they thump their back ft, that's additionally a territory warning. Mama bunnies are slightly ferocious at situations... can nip you and truthfully lunge at you in case you get close to their nests earlier the toddlers are born. If it extremely is her first muddle, don't be shocked if she isn't the superb mom... look ahead to the beginning and placed the toddlers back interior the nest... she would be able to no longer injury you in case you touch the toddlers and he or she would be able to no longer forget regarding the toddlers the two. Many mothers fail at their first kindling, yet make large mothers after that.

my female show rabbit likes to bite at me but thats because she knows she is beautiful and should be treated like a perfect princess but rabbits usually bite when they are wanting to stay in the teritoial area that they are in and they will make sure nothing stands in their way because they always get what they want.
