While a rabbit and chick may have been regularly pictured together during Easter last month this grumpy rabbit is not a fan.

Popeye Theodore is so angered by a hopping toy chick, known as Robbie, invading his space at their home in Boise, Idaho, he kicks it away with his front paws.

At one point he even uses his teeth to throw the battery powered toy across the room.

And apparently he is very protective of his 'bunny wife', known as Olive.

He says: 'We bought the chick toy thinking that Popeye would be friends with it, guess not.

'He’s a lionhead bunny who thinks he’s a ferocious lion.

'He attacks his toys when they are invading his turf or when they are endangering his bunny wife, Olive.'
