I think I have a HE/SHE rabbit! HELP NEEDED

Right, I dont often post on here so you wont really know my situation. Ill tell you now!

I got my Rabbit Misty from a friend of a friend around 5 months ago, the reason they got rid of her was they had a newborn baby and never had time for misty, so as I had just lost my rabbit poppy I took her on to a loving home. She was very timid and hated picking up. Misty gradually got into the routine of being fed at the same time and gradually gained confidence to sit on out knee (walking out of her cage onto our knees). Misty was also quite protective over her cage ad grunted and went for us.

2 weeks ago in her bedding box in her cage she had made a nest, no fur or anything in it just compacted down hay to make a nest. Behiavour was ok no grunting etc.

NOW She has started running around our feet, climbing up them and biting our trousers (Mum, dad and I) so its jsut not one person. Misty is also making a grunting sound, its really hard to describe.

Misty has a dewlap so shes female, i have also looked at her bits :oops:

Im confused HAVE I a HE/SHE rabbit

Any advice????
 
That's normal for female rabbits, I think most of them mount more than males do, I know mine does :lol: Her poor boyfriend gets the brunt of it :lol: and they're both neutered. But thankfully it's not often.
 
I have a male that makes nests and he was castrated nearly 2yrs ago. On Tuesday when I was cleaning him out he sat in the nest to guard it :lol: :lol: :lol:
