Strange Rabbit Behavior

22 10:28:01

Question
Hello, I have two female rabbits who have been bonded for a year and a half. All of a sudden, the less dominant rabbit started to look as if she was climbing on top and pushing herself against the dominant rabbit. Why do you think this behavior is happening? Is this weird behavior? Can you please give us your input? Thanks for answering these questions. Have a nice day.

Answer
hello miguel

it sounds like your rabbit is mounting the other rabbit. this is perfectly normal with rabbits of the same sex but most common with a boy and girl rabbits. it is definatly not weird behaviour, especially if your rabbits are in season they are more likely to mount eachother more. as long as they are not hurting eachother or fighting eachother then just leave them to it.

hope this helps
