Hi.  My daughter's rabbit is male, and he is about 7 months old.  He just recently started "mating" with my daughter's arm.  ; )   Anything we can do?  I don't quite know what to say to her.

Answer
Dear SM,

EEEeeeeyup.  Time for Mr. Bunny to get a checkup by a good, experienced vet who has a lot of success with treating rabbits, and schedule The Big Snip.

You can find a good vet here:

and more information about spay/neuter here:

and info about pre- and post-operative care here:

The sooner this surgery is done, the better.  There's less chance that the sexual energy will evolve into aggression, which can happen in some rare circumstances.

Hope this helps.  Please write back if you have any other questions.
