        Sunny got neutered over a year ago. Prior to that, there was only once incident where he attempted to hump me (arm/hand). Now, this morning, he tried to do it to my arm. Is this a sexual thing, or could it be like in dogs, a dominance thing, or what other reasons do rabbits do this? Is it weird for a neutered bun to do this?

          It’s a dominance thing or sometimes they do it when they get excited.

          I had a pair of girls and one of the girls used to hump the other one when she gotted excited – it was mainly excited about treats or food.

            Well he is VERY loving in the mornings, he digs in my arm and my chest, and plays with my shirt sleeve. I thought that’s all he was doing until he did that. So, you may be right about being excited.

              Mine do it when they’re excited as well (not to me, luckily, but to each other)

                Do you smell like another bunny, or fresh hay or greens or something really good?
                Maybe he is celebrating the first day of summer with you. He sounds happy.

                  No, I didn’t smell like another bunny, and he is the only bunny I have. It was shortly after I woke up and he was just “loving” on me as usual, then he did that.lol. I guess he was just really happy and excited.lol

                    When I had a bonded pair they would occasionally go at each other though both were spayed (okay it was mainly Peppy going at Milo..) but a few months ago Peppy randomly mounted my arm for no apparent reason at all. Hasn’t happened since, but I guess it just happens sometimes.

                      This has been happening a lot more recentl6, but I wonder if it is partly my fault. Our morning love (petting) session is so sweet and i think i can sense before he is going to try to hump. Do i just need to give him a stuffed animal, or should i just try to prevent this all together by changing the way we love on ech other?
