Hello,
I have 2 male rabbits( definately!) Which are 12 weeks old and brothers, they are really super to handle and really love each other and snuggle and groom each other a lot, thyre always together and are ok eating out of the same bowl etc. However, recently Artie has started to hump Henry, I know it could be a dominance thing as I always thought. He was the "boss" from the beginning because of how he acts. Henry has never tried to do it back and often just puts his head down and let's it happen or runs away from Artie. He still acts normally with him in between it happening. I have read a lot about it being normal behaviour but I'm just worrying because as he's humping him he's pulling at Henrys fur and pulling bits out and I don't want it to hurt him!! So wondering if this is normal? They have they're 2nd vac at vets in few days so I will discuss neutering because I'd hate to seperate them!! Also, I may be imagining things but he seems to hump more when he knows I'm there!? I have watched them from the window for ages and nothing.... The minute I go outside it starts? Any advice on this please!!?? Thanku! Xx
