On Saturday I picked up two little mini lops (8 weeks old) and they're sharing a hutch and run in the garage. I was told one was a boy (named Sirius) and the other a girl (named Maisie).
Maisie seems either very shy or very scared, won't let any of us touch her just darts away but Sirius is more relaxed and allows me to stroke him.
But last night we noticed Sirius humping Maisie:?, today when I was sitting in the run with them he was doing it again, but then he kind of climbed over her side and starting biting/pulling at her fur:shock:... in a panic I gently pulled him away from her and now i'm so so worried. They're from the same litter so I thought it would be fine having them together!
Obviously I'm going to get them neutured when they're old enough, but in the meantime what shall I do? I'm terrified he'll do it again when I'm not there, but I don't want to split them up yet as they're so young ... but I don't want them to hurt each other.
Also, what age can Maisie get pregnant?
I'm so worried about them.
