i hope someone puts a better answer then i am about to :P as my wording may be a bit off

yes and no

rabbits are usually inquisitive and social creatures

but they can get aggressive if provoked or for a number of other reasons

such as being in pain or sick etc

the concept that rabbits are complete cowards is a misnomer

Do female rabbits growl?

Not necessarily. Rabbits of both sexes can be aggressive and/or violent for various reasons: sexual hormones, territorial feelings, fear, anger, insecurity, etc. There are many things you can do to help your rabbit become less aggressive. Refer to the related questions below for information and links. By "aggressive" you might instead mean "assertive" but, again, rabbits of both sexes can be assertive, it's just a personality trait.

Are male rabbits gentler than female rabbits?

person 1: Well, I have two rabbits named Peter and Anna. Peter is always trying to get out of his hutch while Anna watches from hers. So females are more friendly in my opinion. Person 2: Actually, rabbits, like humans and many other animals, all have different personalities. So the gender does not determine how gentle or aggressive they are. A female rabbit may be even more aggressive than a male one, or vis-versa. Whether a rabbit is gentle or not, may depend on how it is being treated or how it has been treated in the past. Person 3: I have 2 rabbits, a male and a female, and they are both good but the male i find is gentler. we also have babies but we can't find out whether they are girls or boys yet, but the one that looks like a girl is very friendly. but then so are the others. I guess it's like people, it's just their personality. Person 4: I have two rabbits as well, I find my male to be mroe gentler towards me but more aggressive towards other animals. Person 5:Well female rabbits are more protective then males around there hutch and don't like you cleaning it up(they pounce). Males are much gentler then females and they enjoy a nice pat when females like to wrigle out of your hands to jump out. Person 6: In the past i have had 4 females and 1 male rabbits,all of them have diffrent personalites. 2 of the females were aggressive but i also had 2 other female rabbits and they were really kind and you could hold them and they wouldn't try and escape. Then i had the male and he was really gently but when we got him neutered he started biting and he wouldn't let you pick him up. my opinion is that it deponds when you are buying a rabbit look and try and see what sort of personality it has is it quiet and sits in the corner or is it loud and likes to jump every where.


Why do our boy rabbits try to mate with each other They are quite aggressive with each other and one is losing hair on his head?

Male rabbits can be vicious with each other even if they are related. They can fight for food and for attention. Male rabbits can also be dominent exspecially if you had on of them before the other then they would feel like the other rabbit was in its space. If they continue fighting and harming each other then you should separate them

Why are dogs aggressive to rabbits?

Because that's the natural order of things: rabbits are prey and dogs are predators.Not all dogs are aggressive to rabbits, though. Pet rabbits and dogs have been known to get along very well (although they should never be left alone together, no matter how well they behave: too many rabbits have been lost that way).Some dog breeds tend to be more aggressive towards rabbits than others.

I have separated my two rabbits after almost a year because one became aggressive was this a good idea?

Yes, if one of your rabbits is exhibiting signs of aggression, I would definitely separate them. However, due to their age, I would consider the aggressive behavior to be sexual in nature. If you do not plan to breed your rabbits, I would consider having them spayed or neutered. This could clear up any sexual aggression.
