Question
MY three month old bunny just gave birth the other day to 2 babies that didnt make it :(.Now my male bunny whenever he comes around my female goes crazy and tries to hump him and runs around in circles. MY male bunny is now neutered. But they keep trying to hump each other. Will my female go through a false pregnancy if my male humps her because she seems to want him to?

Answer
Dear Amanda,

Once your bunny has recovered, it is time to have her spayed for her own health and longevity:

This will stop her wild behavior and end the frustration and danger of cancer that she now has.  Please use the list linked here:

to find a good vet to do the spay.

I hope this helps.
