I know from reading posts on other forums that rabbits are humping each other all over regardless of sex or neutering!
I rehomed a neutered male and a uneutered female in oct last year so this is first spring. The male was neutered young and is now nearly 6 andthe female is 4 and they have been together since female was young and are very happy -grooming each other and cuddling up together. They have a large cage and spend all day out in a very large paved area (secure) so get lots of exercise.
For the last month it seems the male is mating for about 2 days at a t ime then leaving her alone, occasionally I have seen the female mating with the male.
The male pulls large chunks of fur out of the female only when mating. The female does not seem overly bothered she will hop away sometimes and if he pulls a bit too hard on her fur.
Is this all normal behaviour????
Obviously they have been together a long time and survived but I just do not know anything about having neutered and uneutered together.
My vet says it is too late to have female neutered as it should be done when very young as its a risky op and at 4 yrs old she could die if we tried now.
