Q:  I want to keep my rabbit, but...!

A:   Bad behaviors doesn't equal out to a bad rabbit.  A rabbit that doesn't pay you much mind doesn't mean he/she doesn't love you.  Behaviors are learned and therefore can be unlearned or at least redirected with some behavior modification on both the human and bun levels.

Rabbits do not respond well to physical discipline.  They have been designed to be easily frightened and broken; never physically discipline your rabbit.  You and/or your rabbit could end up seriously hurt and your rabbit will end up terrified of you rather than your loving companion.
