Question
Hi i am wondering i just got a new rabbit aND IT is a  netherland dwarf rabbit and my other one which i've haD FOR a while is a mini rex and it is a male and my other new one is a female, now the first day i had brought it home i joined the 2 together and the male tried mating. but i pulled them off.. i was wondering if the male goes on top of the female and tries mating and they were at it for 15 or 10 secs. can she still get pregant? and also everytime i put them together thats all they want to do, is it just the season? also which is the best way of getting rid of diarrhea of my rabbit? i hope you can answer as soon as possible..pleasee!! also i tried to get my rabbit out of the cage and it growled at me and tried to bite me? why is that? thanks you soo muchh!

Answer
You can never house a male and female together without producing babies.  The female rabbit does not have a heat cycle like other animals and can get bred at anytime.  It is possible that she is bred, but she may not.  Diarrhea is usually due to a parasite that needs to be treated by a vet.  Netherland dwarfs are usually not the nicest rabbits and will often growl and bite to be left alone.
