Male neutered rabbit still active!

Hi all

I had my 1 year old male rabbit (Sonny) neutered 3 months ago and he still has the occasional moment of being horny with my other bunny!
I adopted him from someone who couldn't look after him properly and he's really thrived since bonding with my 3 year old female (Lulu) but I've noticed that he still tries it on with her when he gets the feeling for it :lol: ...do you think the operation failed or can some of the hormones still remain???
Thanks xx
 
I have 4 girls living together, and you should have seen Primrose with Zinniea this evening :shock: It's not about sex though, it's about dominance, although if the weather's spring-like it does seem to make them a bit frisky :)
 
All my boys are neutered and are still at it.... well..... like rabbits really!:lol: :lol: Some days more than others, but Spring is deffinitely a more active time.:D
 
Rabbit's mount for two reason:

1. to make babies
2. to indicate dominance over another rabbit

Neutering removes the urge/ability to do the first but the second still happens (although usually not as common). It's not unusual for females to mount other rabbits for reason number 2 either as Elve says :)
 
Thanks everyone, I thought it was strange thats all as my previous male rabbit never had the urge once he'd been neutered!! :lol:
