QuestionI have two house rabbits age 5. Baloo (male) Ruby (female).
They were both neutered as babies.
They adore each other and snuggle/groom happily.
The last 2 months Baloo is mounting Ruby repeatedly. What could make him start this after 5years.
Has he grown something/things back?
Please help
AnswerDear Lily,
This is a mysterious problem that some rabbits develop, and it may involve adrenal disorders. I would get him to a good rabbit vet for a full exam to be sure there isn't some source of pain that's causing him to act out.
If not, then a blood panel can be done to check his testosterone levels. Abnormally high levels can sometimes be effectively treated with lupron, but results can vary.
You can find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope this helps.
