        Hi guys,
        I’m really worried about my two girls they are mini lops. Ying and Yang came from the same litter and have been together their whole lives. They are 8 months old.
        Ying has started to hump Yang. I first thought it was normal and harmless but Yang runs away and is making little grumbles at her sister. She really doesn’t like it!!
        Poor Yang has become quite stressed she is eating less, hiding away and is much affectionate towards me I don’t want to seperate them because they still groom each other and snuggle. I don’t know what to do ?

            Welcome to BB.

            Like Bpash asked, the first thing we need to know is if they are both spayed. If they are not both spayed, that is the first step. Humping is more common in rabbits who are unfixed.

            If they are spayed, the humping may be because of them trying to establish dominance over each other. Some humping may always occur in a bonded pair. They can also hump out of jealousy. Make sure the litterbox is large enough, or better yet, add two boxes side by side. Make sure there is plenty of food and hay and both can access it easily. If there are toys/houses that they seem to fight over, you might want to remove those for now.
