Sociable animals?

Question
Hi Samantha,
My two 2-month-old and 4 days rabbits aren't as cuddly as before. They are kicking and scratching me as I pick them up. How shall I prevent this? My friend has a rabbit too. A 3 year old buck. Is it a good idea to have a play date with all the rabbits together?
Thanks!  

Answer
Hello,
You could say that your rabbits are entering their "teenage" stage of development. The rowdiness of them should go away as they get a bit older. The playdate will be fine if your friend's rabbit is neutered, otherwise he will try to breed yours if they are female, and fight with them if they are male.
