QuestionI have 2 dwarf rabbits & im sure the female is pregnant. The problem im having is that the male doesnt want to stop mating with the female. The female gives out a crying sound & runs away but it looks like the male is getting very violent with her. He bites her & like scratches her. She runs as soon as she sees him & I can see that shes tired & worn out coz her eyes are red. What must i do? Please Help Me
AnswerDear Zaahir,
You must separate the rabbits at once, so the little female can have some peace! To help prepare for the birth of the babies, please read:

In the meantime, have the male neutered:

In a few weeks, any remaining sperm in his body will be inviable, and he can safely be re-introduced to the female--being very careful to use proper bonding techniques so they don't fight:

You may be able to find a rabbit vet with the international vet listing link here:

Hope this helps.
