  • Yes my female rabbit humps my male rabbit more. When i first got her she was really pretty and i checked her sex and she was a girl but when i introduced her to my other rabbit, she started humping him so i was kind of confussed and thought they were both males. But just in time i found out one was male and one was female and the one who humped the most was the female lol.
  • It sounds like your female is saying shes the boss because humping is a sighn of dominance most of the time. for more information on rabbit bonding go here: http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/san-diego/behavior/bonding-tips.html
  • Yes they do, sort of. They are just trying to establish dominance over the other rabbits. But rabbits shouldn't be kept together, even the same sex, unless they are neutered or spayed as they are territorial and may fight and hurt one another. They each need their own cage.
  • like rabbits!
  • They can if they feel like it....
  • Hi there, I have two rabbits which are both female and one has started humping the other. I was told it was ok to house two females together. I would like some advice as to whether they will be ok. Its the smaller rabbit which is doing the humping.
  • Bunnies of the same sex can live together but you would want female to female as they can get along better you can have different sex's but you'd need to spay. Now to make sure your bunnies can get along....... if you are buying a rabbit for the first time and you want 2 I would suggest buying them from the same cage at the store or where ever your purchasing them from because they already know each other. If you already have a rabbit and are looking to get your rabbit a friend your better off going to the humane sociaty because then you can take your rabbit with you and let him/her pick out there new best friend. When you get a new rabbit with an existing rabbit you would need to seperrate cages and food dishes for eat an sleep. I have to female bunnies they are almost a year old now and even buying them together as soon as they hit adolescence they become night marerish, you'll notice because they will try to mate, you wont see them together as much, they will be more distructive, and you will hear them grunt...... keep in mind that this is a faise it will pass eventually... do not seperrate your rabbits unless they are hurting each other and only for a day at a time other wise they wont be used to each other any more and now you have territories to watch..... or make sure they have a big ennough area to get away from eachother as needed
  • We have two female bunnies, a mini rex and a 1/2 chinchilla (not a half a chinchilla but half chinchilla and half something else. Also not half chinchilla ie not just the front half. ), of different ages. Initially they did not live in the same cage and when exposed to each other were very territorial. We solved this by slowly, and for increasing amounts of time, introducing them to each other a a neutral territory (the bathtub). They tolerated each other more but still had difficulty when sharing a space for to long. We solved this by tearing down the cage and building a new cage with new ground material (in other words, not owned by either rabbit). They huddled together while this destabilizing event took place and bonded over my traumatizing them (for people lacking a sense of humor this is a joke. I love our bunnies and feed them 1/2 a person with no sense of humor every week to help them grow). They have lived together happily for over 2 years. Occasionally, one of the two females will hump the other. I interpret this as dominance behavior.
  • They hump they hump on their lovely lady lumps
