Hormonal netherland dwarf bunny

Question
My Dutch dwarf rabbit has just turned 1 year old. I had her spayed 6 months ago. I am starting to believe that she is synchronizing with me when i get P.M.T is this possible? She gets quite aggressive, runs around her bed and grunts then as soon as i take a period she is ok. This has happened about 3 times so i don't think it is a coincidence. thank you

Answer
Hi Lorraine

I have studied this and I honestly believe it can happen.  I have yet to find anyone else that actually believes me or any studies of this phenomenon.  I don't keep doe's in my house but before I had a hysterectomy I was convinced that my bucks knew.  I had one buck who was sweet as pie but at that time all he would do is try to mount my arm.  Since I had surgery in February he hasn't mounted me once.

I can't tell you for sure but it is my personal belief that it is possible.  I know it happens with other animals but it is usually males.  When I was young I grew up on a cattle farm.  Somehow the bulls would know and we had one that would literally try to jump over the fence to get to us.  We weren't even allowed outside during that time.  Eventually the bull became hamburger because he was extremely dangerous.

Since she is fixed and a perfect angel the other times I would imagine that this is the only answer.  I can't imagine how miserable it must make you but I am wondering if she can sense a change in your attitude.  Rabbits are so smart and some people just don't give them credit.

I am sorry I can't give you a definitive answer but I sure hope that this has helped a bit.

Sincerely

Pam
