I own a 4,5 - 5 months old female bunny.The last 10 days her attitude has changed - she is biting us and she won't let us touch her. What is wrong with her? There is no vet in my area to ask
Thanks

Ragging hormones, you need to get her spayed

She is a teenager and is being hormonal.
She needs spayed, not only to stop this behaviour but also to extend her life-expectancy from 5 years (the age at which 80-85% of un-spayed does die from reproductive cancers) to 10 or fifteen.
It is fairly irresponsible to get a pet where you don't have a vet who can treat it. Not only do rabbits need vaccinations and boosters; what would you do in an emergency if she got really sick?

She is starting adolescence. Her hormones are starting to act up. This will last for a few months and her behaviour may not change to be more positive. Getting her spayed helps a lot. Getting a rabbit savvy vet is essential to a rabbits health. A dog/cat vet will not know enough about rabbits to properly spay a bunny. Find a vet who knows rabbits.

Then if there is no vet in your area, go OUT of your area! DUH! Get up off your lazy butt and make the effort! It is her RIGHT by law to receive proper care and to deny it is abuse. Stop wasting time on the computer talking to strangers and get going! It's obvious she's in pain!
