Some of you may know I just got my first personal rabbit, a Dutch names Skip
Skip is unaltered. I've sat on the floor with his cage open a few times already, just to let him get use to me and the room hes staying in, and he comes out quite willingly. He starts making this low honking sound (I guess it could be described that way) and as soon as he does that I know he's going to come and try to hump my arm or leg. When he does this he bites down pretty hard, almost enough to draw blood but not quite.
Besides this he's a pretty sweet boy so far. With the cage closed I'll stick my finger in and he'll put his head down for me to pet him. He was fine the whole trip home as well, no humping during the car ride.
I will be getting him neutered when I can (and when he's settled in) but I was just wondering if the continuous humping means anything? Is he trying to mark me? Or do I just smell good to a bunny?
And would it be a good idea to discipline him to stop humping until I get him neutered? Or should I just keep the interactions between us short and infrequent until then?
