Question
We just adopted two bunnies from Petco
They were abandaned and were up for adoption.
The sign said 2 males!
Anyway now we have six bunnies.
We seperated the two bunnies because the one was
trying to have sex with her, Is that normal?


Answer
Dear Kristie,

Please read this right away:

because it will help you understand what to provide and what the new sex behavior (yes, unfortunately, it's normal but not healthy for the mom or her babies!).  Once you've had a look, please write back if you have any additional questions.
