Hi all,
I have two rabbits - male and female that were successfully bonded in early December. Both are neutered - the female around 4 months ago and the male 6 months or so ago. They have been living together fine. However, today the female has spent the entire time chasing the male around trying to mount him. I don't know if it's because it's been the first proper spring day with the sun shining or what, but he has to keep running away, eventually entering a tunnel to hide in. I even tried separating them (a wire mesh between them in the house / run area) but as soon as that was removed she went straight for him!
Is this usual? What might be happening here?
Thanks for your help!
Ben.
