plesae help i am fed up, as some of you probably now i had my three bucks and my doe neutered/spay yesterday, and its been a rollercoaster ride thats for sure.
:shock: :shock:

you will be please to know my doe has now started eating again well her vegs anyway, but its a start.

but my boys are driving me up the wall... they are outside buns but i have them in at the moment, to recover. they have now meet kymber which is making them want to breed :shock: :shock:

they are 4 months old have they hit puberty the day afetr they have had the op or are they having a hormone surge already??

they are constantly at it!!!!

the third boy is not doing so well he was ok yesterday, but this evening is really off, no food, wont take the recovery and is lounging, rung the emerg vet and from what i have described to her she says it is ok to wait until first thing in the morning, which is when they have there appointment for there post op check.....i feel like i am a nurseand a school teacher dealing with unruley children, i want to pull my hair out!!!

stress, tired overworked and underpaid, :lol: :lol: ok then just tired!!!
 
Hi

It takes a good while for the hormones to get out of their system (say a couple of months) so you may have to practice your relaxation techniques :wink: :lol: .

On the plus side it is good that on the whole they seem to have come through the op well. Hope your other wee bun starts to feel perkier tomorrow.

Maybe they are just having one last sow of any wild oats that may be left over :?

lol Pam
 
THANKS PAM, i have never seen them like this before and they are driving me mad, i am stressed out about the other one and them shagging for want of a better word (sorry) is making the other one look even worse. but where did all the shagging come from i have never seen them do this before and the day after there op there AT IT!!!
 
It may be a dominance thing rather than a sexual thing, buns mount each other to determine who is the boss and as they are indoors and therefore in unfamiliar territory, and have met Kymber, it is probably this that has triggered this behaviour. A 'you are mine and you belong to me and not this new bun' statement rather than a hormone surge. If they are ok after their op it may be worth trying them back in their usual hutch so they are back in their familiar surroundings where they will feel unthreatened. Last thing you want them to do is split their stitches through all this bouncing.
 
When Violet arrived Zeus (who had lost his bits 8 months previously) suddenly started mounting Athena and she started mounting him back - it was a nightmare for the first week whenever they saw Violet in the run but it calmed down after a couple of weeks and they don't do it really, execpt the odd ocasion when Cosmos sprays Athena and sets Zeus off again.

I am quite glad my hubby doesn't start mounting me in public everytime another male walks by - it could get rather embarrassing in shopping centres - there again I am also glad he uses the toilet and doesn't relieve himself over me either!

I for one think I wouldn't like to be reincarnated as a female rabbit (a male wouldn't be so bad ;) )!

Hope your little one starts eating soon!
