Question
I do not want to get a female rabitt, but I have a male, who is not neutered yet, plan to, but all he wants to do is hump my arm and bite me, what do I do? How do I get him to stop?

Answer
Hi Brenda,

the nipping is not to hurt, but to kind of 'hang on' to your arm while, well, doing his business.

The solution is to get him neutered.  After about two weeks afterwards, you will see a decrease in his interest to do this.  4-5 weeks out you will see the bunny you had before he hit sexual maturity.

I would suggest wearing large, long-armed sweatshirts.  If he can still get through that I'd wrap an extra towel around your arm.  Helps that he won't get you as much (nipping).  You really can't do anything else, as he's reacting to his hormones and your pheromones.

Write backa anytime.  Lee
