I have 2 house rabbits - a 2 year old dwarf lop (Horace) and 18 month old mini lop (Millie).
Both of them were neutered as soon as old enough and they were successfully bonded and have been living quite happily together for over a year, sharing a cage and litter box. They spent most of their time snuggled up together snoozing, or grooming each other.
I don't know what has caused the change, but Horace has started to mount Millir very determinedly and won't let it go.
I don't think there is any malice involved - they still appear to be friends, but he is pulling fur from her back, and she has a little bald patch now.
Any ideas what might have caused the change of behaviour, and what we can do to discourage this?
Thanks, Phil
