How Long For Hormones To Drop Away

Hi:wave:

In a female, how long does it take roughly for the hormones to drop away after spaying?

Lilah has been done 5 weeks ago, she was bonded with Frankie last weekend which went great (all loved up). But since then she has started digging and seems even more hyper than normal. He was done some months ago the rescue says.

I'm thinking its hormones & she thinking babies & this will calm down?

Around 6 weeks is average I believe.

I guess they live outside?

It could be something coming around their hutch at night which is upsetting her. OR a smell on the air etc.

Usually they say about 6 weeks. Maybe she's just really enjoying her new life

In my experience, 6 - 8 weeks

Thanks all.

She has been lively to say the least since we had her, but since Frankie arrived in her life at the weekend she is even more so. Binkies like a mad bunny especially in the mornings. Frankie does too but not to the extent that Lilah does. That is good to see. The digging is new for her since his arrival. She just races round a lot more than she did. Hoping its happiness He is so calm. Cute as a button. They both are. Best thing ive done.

It could be because she's happy she has a playmate

yes she does seem really happy. That's what we wanted in the end 2 happy bunnies.
