  1. you look him in the eyes and say NO! And keep it up, and when he doesnt do it just give hm a treat! Also when you come p to it say calming words like hey buddy how you doing, are you eating your hay...? Etc   Good luck :)


  2. Male lionheads tend to nibble on their owners of a way to say 'you're mine'.

    However, if it's more than a nibble, getting him neutered (if he is over 4 months) will lessen his aggression.

  3. Get him neutered. That will lession the agreshion. Alsowash your hands or where gloves. Maybe he dose not like your smell.

  4. I had a rabbit that did the same thing. For some reason rabbits have a tendency to bite or nibble, I think its pretty common. What I would do is see if he's hungry. Rabbits probably really don't know what is edible or what, and they're probably testing out what is edible by nipping at things, sometimes you. Sometimes there may be food in his bowl, but he just isn't in the "mood to eat". I suggest throwing lettuce or cabbage into his cage or near him, and see if that helps. ..You never know until you try! Getting loud with the rabbit may scare him, and he'd probably damage his "trust" in you. So if you should discipline him by telling him "NO", don't do it in the midst of pain from being bit by him.
