I think it depends how old the rabbit was whenhe was neutered.older dogs usually dont stop lifting there leg itsalready a habit.bluebird

He just started this? Have you broughtin a new bunny, changed anything in his routine, done anythingdifferently? Some rabbits will make sure you know if anythingdispleases them.

Hey

Yes he has just started this....he was neutered as soon as he could beand he is something like 8-9 months old. I haven't introduced any newbunnies; although he does not particularly like Dermot who he can'treally see but knows is there. But that is not new; I've had Dermotsince before Spyral was neutered. He is kind of going backwards inregards to behaviour....he is no longer very friendly and he loves tothump at me. Quite the buck. :XYuck, lol.

I have a run that they always got out of that we built. It's 7x4....Ino longer put them in it but this is not a recent change. They got outof it within minutes of being placed in it; and it is now my flemishx's home; I never put her back in her cage (shes huge... n stillgrowing!) and she never jumps out. But if she did; she would come rightup to me anyway so its not a big deal

I really can't think of anything that I've changed Except I bought abag of oats to give them as a treat sometimes? But I don't think thatwould make him angry at me Thanks.

8-9 months old? It could just be ateenage thing. Some rabbits will have a naughty phase at thatage, whether or not they are neutered.

Thank you; any idea when he might grow out ofthis if it is a phase? I am extremely hopeful that this isnt a case of"once a sprayer; always a sprayer".:disgust:He seems to begoing backwards in regards to behaviour.
