Thank you for the information. I will make sure to have separate housing set up for that time. :) I need to get double of everything. I am a registered nurse with experience working in surgery (pre and post-op), although I am not familiar with veterinary practices, I do have experience with...

We are getting the male neutered on Tuesday. We don't plan to house two fully-intact rabbits of different genders together. :) We just found out that one is a male last week. They have been housed together because we were told that both were females.

Thank you for your input. We plan to spay the female in the fall, after my kids are able to show her this summer. She will be around 8 months old. They are homeschooled and in 4H and rabbits are their project. They do not allow altered rabbits to be shown. I'm not sure why that is the case, but...

I'm not monitoring them in an attempt to keep them from breeding, I'm monitoring them to make sure that they don't hurt each other and that they are safe. I know that you cannot monitor to keep them from breeding, that would be impossible. ;) I was only asking what the likelihood is that they...

We would get them both fixed, but we plan to show the female and we cannot show her if she is fixed. :/ we will be showing her this summer and can get her fixed in the fall.

The male hasn't been chasing the female excessively, he has just followed her around on occasion. They aren't running or anything like that. I've only seen the behavior a few times. We do monitor them closely because they live inside and we are home with them all day. My kids are homeschooled...

Thank you for that information. I will keep a close eye on them and if they start to fight or act hostile towards each other I will figure out a way to separate them. They both live inside our house and we don't really have a good way to separate them. The breeder said she can take the male...

Thank you for responding. I really don't think we have a way to separate them. I will weigh them today. The male is bigger than the female, but not by much. We don't plan to spay the female until the fall because my kids are going to show her in the 4H fairs this summer and we cannot show her if...

Hi! We just got 2 Holland lops that were born on September 15th. We were told that both were females and sisters. They have been living together for 3 weeks in the same cage. I started to notice the larger of the two exhibiting some mating behaviors. I sent pictures to the breeder and it turns...
