rabbit behaviour

[flip flop]

my rabbit has started stamping and scrathing its way out of the hutch since her bunnies have all gone to good homes should i leave her to settle or pick her up and comfort her

id get her neutered so she can have a partner,
having all your babies taken away can be heart wrenching

i agree, she needs bunny company.
Get her neutered and maybe see your local rescue and see if you can rescue a male bun. :wave:

Thats good,
get them both neutered and then its about 6 weeks after the male has been neutered they can be put together
i recommend getting the female done aswell, to help prevent cancer in the womb.

Also, I believe the males can still be fertile for several weeks after a neuter, so don't be tempted to put them back together before she has been done.

Is it just when you go to the hutch? Hormones seem to make them more territorial, so maybe she will settle down in a couple of weeks.

It sounds hormonal if its out of character, spaying should help in that case. If they are both neutered you can bond as soon as they are healed 2-3 weeks. If just the boy, its six weeks.
