Question
We've just added a new member to the family. Now making two. Both being male, Stitch is a lil over a year old and the newbie is 10 weeks. They seem to get along ok but Stitch is so horny all of a sudden and i feel really bad for both of them. Hops is being hunted to be humped. When i put Stitch in his cage he acts like a mad man trying to get out. As its only been 3 days will this slow down as time goes on. Stitch is looking so serious with only one thing on the brain. If we try the stuffed animal thing should we put it in his cage or out somewhere by his cage? Any advice you can give me would be great. Oh and the pooping all over since Hops has been here will that slow as well, I hope so before this Stitch was potty trained but now its like a forgotten thing. Please help

Answer
hi Rachael this is normal , its a wonder your rabbit has not bitten the younger one .
it is very hard to introduce another rabbit because yours will always show dominace and he thinks the other rabbit is trying to take over his space.
my opinion is that you need to keep them separated and just bring them out for a daily romp, but yours may still try and hump the other.if they have there own space it should get back to normal
