Young Bun
Hi, I have a male and a female rabbit who are about 14 months old. I have had them a year now, they live indoors and are best friends. I had the male neutered as soon as he was old enough but left the female. My reasons for this were that I didn’t want to put her through the stress of an operation (she’s always been more timid than the male). I also didn’t want to keep them apart as i’d hate for them to fall out of love.
Anyway, the last month or so my female rabbit has become really naughty (hormonal?). She digs everywhere, spreads her litter all over, pulls her fur out to make little nests, mounts the male, won’t go back in her enclosure and thumps her feet when we try to put her back in.
I’m wondering now whether having her spayed would help. She’s happy enough, always leaping about and rolling around. Would spaying stop her crazy behaviour? Is it very stressful for them to be spayed. Would they remember each other when we put them back together?
Thanks for any advice x
