just wanted to ask, Coby has just started to honk at my feet and circle, I will be getting him snipped soon, but my question is, could this be why he wont sit for attention? also he does this weird belly crawl, what is he doing?!

Zeus stopped circling and honking after the op and I did miss it a bit but he still runs up and occasionally runs round me but I think now he is using it to beg for food !

Caz, do you think it makes a difference to how much they interact with you after if they have been like this, I mean does he like to sit and get fussed?

Zeus is still as affectionate. He still loves to get a cuddle and a fuss from us and follows me around sometimes still but I don't think it was just the neutering that caused him to be a bit less affectionate I think it was because we got Athena almost straight after and he transferred some of his affection to her.

So although he still loves our company and demands nose rubs or food whenever he sees us he doesn't spend all day following me round because he has Athena for company too.

I think I was a bit daft to miss the circling especially the number of times I nearly dropped hot stuff on him when he tripped me up and he was one stage away from spraying before he was done.

I suppose it is like real children, one day they get boyfriends/girlfriends and you aren't quite their number one anymore but they still love you.

It was definately worth it for Zeus because I worked full time and most of the day he had to spend on his own hence why he wouldn't leave us alone when we got home. Now with Athena to cuddle up to he is a much happier, chilled out bunny.

Zac's a kinda honka but wierd really - he's not yet Neutered but he only circles my feet when there is food around and he'll normally charge about the place generally first and then softly honk a couple of times - no spraying :shock: at yet though

My bunny Miles used to circle before his op but he seemed to be prodding us for a game of tag rather than performing a mating ritual! He still circles occasionally and then plays tag with us, but much less than usual as we have Miffy now who he plays chase with.

My Brad used to do this behaviour before he was spayed he was still loving but in an 'I love you' way rather than a confused and fustrated 'Give me babies now now now!!!!' kinda way.
