hey guys just needed a bit of advice,

Iv got two rabbits who were sucessfully bonded in the summer but the past couple of days the younger one (8 month girl) has been attacking molly (a 1 1/2 yr old neutered boy). She keeps growling at him and whenever food is introduced shes growls and bites him and chases him. They used to sit and cuddle all the time and now whenever he goes near her she runs off to another corner?

Just wondered if they are having relationship issues or theres something more to it!!!?
 
Is your girl Spayed? It's sounds as though she is being hormonal. The only way to stop it is to have her spayed. She will come out of it eventually but she will keep going into moods like this one X
 
Awww it sounds like she is feeling a bit hormonal and territorial - is she spayed? If not I would suggest getting her booked in ASAP as what is currently a bit of growling could potentially turn nastier. Also sometimes a bunny can get grumpy if it is in pain so it's probably worth popping her up to the vets for a health check and to check she is ok for a spay. In the meantime, I would give them separate food bowls at opposite ends of their house so that your girlie doesn't feel that she has to defend her grub, and if you can, give them some more space so they have somewhere to get away from each other if they want to - this may just keep the grumpiness in check for long enough for her to get spayed and her hormones to settle down again.
 
ah no shes is not spayed as yet, ahh i see that could be the reason....shes also sqeaking at lot is that a behaviour to do with hormones?? I shall get her down to the vets then!
