My 1 yr.old female is always tossing things around her cage and constantly digging at the ground on her cage. Will spaying her make her stop doing this? I am going to try to put a box she can hide in there and see if she likes it.

Spaying your rabbit is the best thing you can do for her and her health, female rabbits that don't get spayed have a 80% chance of uterine cancer. So get her spayed by a Vet with experience, if you don't, it can result in something not good, and if she's a rabbit vet thats good she will send home pain meds for her, rabbits need this because they are in pain just like we would be if we had surgery. Usually it's liquid in a syringe, it's easy and it's for 3 days one in the morning and 1 at night.

It's always best to alter your pet rabbit. they become much sweeter and less prone to many bad habits. They dig, growl, bite, and fight, a lot less. All those hormone type things. And they will live a lot longer, too. But she will probably still dig a bit, at least at first. It takes time for some things to stop as they still have some of the hormones in their bodies.

Also, another concern i have is that she lives with a neutered male and i guess they sometimes get on each others nerves cuz he will try to hump her (even though he s fixed) and she will make that noise that says "get away from me u jerk" I am worried he will do that when she is sore, do u think I should move him to another cage? I feel bad though cuz they are best friends and dont really like being seperated. Thanks again:)
