Hi, we got 2 bunnies when they were 6 weeks old. They have been together the entire time. We were told that both were female. However, recently, they have been chasing each other like crazy (one always does the chasing and the other thumps)
While they are "calm" together a lot, the other night we noticed that one tried to hump the other (ACK!) and it led us to believe maybe we have a mixed pair and not two females! I looked at them both and both appear to be females (but what do I know?)
So, I have a friend coming over tomorrow whom knows a lot about rabbits to confirm. We have also noticed a lot of "spraying" going on, which is new.
The bunnies were born June 1. So, we had planned to get them fixed in early November.
BUT, here is my real question. We leave on vacation for 8 days tomorrow.
If we have boy/girl situation, should we separate them?
I hate to have them separated for the first time and us on vacation. We, of course, have arranged for people to come and take care of them, but since we intended on leaving them "together" I was less worried. Ugh. I don't know what to do!
If girl/girl (as we thought) leave together?
if boy/girl (as we hope not) should we separate?
I think they are still too young to fix?
