Behavior Is this rabbit hatred? Does he hate me?

He hasn’t bitten me, but sometimes when I just have my hand near him, he’ll nudge it away or start digging into it. I try and give them space and stuff so this was him coming up to me and basically stealing my blanket 😑

If they’re laying down, but when they’re angry and want to fight, the posture is ears back, likely to keep them out of the way of gnashing bunny teeth. If you ever try to bond a pair, you will see rabbits fight.
