Hello all,
We took in a neutered buck and spayed doe a week ago, both Netherland Dwarfs, who are bonded. I was told they are almost a year old and have been together all along, and they were neutered and spayed in August last year. We have other rabbits in the house, but they are separated. Today I heard a commotion and it was the buck chasing the doe around and mounting her, with her grunting and running away. I watched for a few minutes and he wouldn't stop, so I took him out and put him in a carrier beside their cage. I'm torn between separating them to prevent the behaviour and putting them back together to avoid breaking their bond. Does anyone have advice?
