my family has had a rabbit for about a year. we recently got another one from an animal shelter. we have been introducing them slowly as i read on a site. now they are friends and get along well. really too well. they are both males and we can keep them off each other. i read that a water spray bottle works but not for these two. anyone have any suggestions?

My dog is a female and she humps other famale dogs all the time. I wouldn't really worry about it as long as they are both males and you aren't going to wake up to a cage full of baby bunnies. They'll probably grow out of it, but you might just try buying them seprate cages.

I would advise against getting them neutered, because it is wildly expensive, and very dangerous because most rabbits are very sensitive to anesthesia and often die during the surgery. If they are getting along otherwise, and not hurting each other with biting or scratching, I wouldn't worry about it. Most male rabbits housed together will do it, and two females housed together often do it also, and even single rabbits with do it with a stuffed animal if you give them one.

thanks for your comment. i want to have at least one litter before i neuter them all. i have been letting them out in turns and they circle each others cage for awhile and then lay down. this works out better, lol. i dont think i will get them a stuffed animal, lol.
