My two Flemmish baby girls are now 4 1/2 months old. They are already probably as big as most pet bunnies. They are sisters. 99% of the time, they are very lovey, dovey. They are bonded. They just love to sleep together side by side. One girl is dominant, and the other tends to be submissive. About two weeks ago, the dominant sister would ocasionally try to hump her submissive sister and pull out hair...I guess from the other rabbit's neck. Up until this time, we let them run loose in the house, but at night they had to go into a pen in the living room. However, about a week ago, the pen was really all disarray in the morning...looked like they'd been fighting in there. So now, they are free to run in the house all the time. At night I can sometimes hear them running...chasing each other I suppose...and in the morning..I can find an occasional tuft of hair on the floor. My wife said she saw the submissive rabbit trying to hump her usually more aggressive sister! Oh! another incident...the submissive rabbit one night built a birthing nest. Both of them have good litter box manners, but both are prone to leave a table spoon of pee here and there for marking....SOOO
I think it's time to think about neutering. They are now 4 1/2 months old. I'm wondering if they can be neutered at 5 months of age...I think they have already reached sexual maturity. They are Flemmish rabbits and I really want them to grow to a large size. Will neutering them at 5 months stunt their growth? (I want big rabbits so I can leave them in the back yard for hours by themselves and won't be attacked by feral cats, etc. They will always be brought back into the house after a few hours outside. Me and my wife really like to live with house bunnies. )
Thanks!!
