Whenever I am spotted by the bunnies in the garden and they think I have food, they run chasing each other in circles... I assumed it was one bunny trying to chase the other away from me and the food... I usually get the food in quick to stop the chasing :lol:

i will see the vet agin

i will go back to the vets and ask for more info

If they are both female and unspayed it is likely to be one exerting dominance over the other. It is definately worth getting them spayed as this will help them to settle. It will also help protect against uterine cancer

Our lops are fixed and when they think food is coming they tend to scamper round and round the cage. They don't chase each other as long as they get food or headrubs. :lol:

As long as one of them is running away it's nothing really to worry about. When they turn and start biting each other then it's a problem. But yes get them spayed when you can.

I think there is something in the air as mine have started chasing more than usual :roll:

Agree about getting them spayed, and also about there being something in the air (or full moon is my serious belief) as most of mine have been very unsettled or chasing this last week too.

They need to be kept warm after a spay, so you might need to bring them inside for a few days if it's cold.

It depends how serious the chasing is - if it's just the odd now & again, I shouldn't worry, but if it escalates, I'd be inclined to spay sooner rather than later - these things can often turn into fights in hormonal buns
