I've had my 2 bunnies bonded since September 2015. They are a boy/girl pair, both neutered/spayed. I have recently had their check ups at the vets which were all good and nothing has changed in the home environment (they are indoor rabbits)
A couple of months ago I noticed Albert occasionally humping Minnie and he would chase her / nip at her bum. He hadn't done this up until now- he was a really chilled out rabbit, he loves his food and just likes to relax. I would also find the odd bit of fur around. Minnie doesn't retaliate, she will just run off or hide.
The last 2 weeks have literally been unbearable though. He chases her constantly to the point where she now just looks frightened of what he might do and i'm worried that she is really unhappy or that it will end up making her poorly. But on the positive side they still eat their meals together with no problems and I will still see them lie together and she grooms him so I don't think the bond is totally broken.
I've been searching for suggestions on here tonight and one thing I've come across (which I haven't heard of before) is spring fever. Is it possible that this could be the cause of his change in behaviour? Does it even effect indoor rabbits and I saw someone mention that it could last until August - is this right??
I don't know how much more of this I can take right now
