          I would guess that this is hormonal behavior, but someone else may know better than me.
          If it is hormonal the only solution is to get her spayed.

          Spay surgery is expensive, but are you planning on getting it done eventually? It’s very important for their health.

            Yes i want to get her spayed ASAP. I am pro prevent a litter fix your critter! lol but i have read how dangerous it is to keep female bunnies especially unaltered, so i just hope i can get it done sooner rather than later! I love my little bun bun and just want whats best for her! All our animals are fixed (got a couple cats and a dog) besides hollie

              and the vets around here want around 400 to spay her! That is more expensive then what it cost me for my cats and 40 lb dog to get spayed. and that is just the low end one vet can do a laser surgery (suppose to be easier on them than a typical spay) but that one is 500!

                Oooh, yeah that is expensive! :/
                Are there any rescues nearby? If you ask them where they get their rabbits done, they will probably know somewhere reliable and inexpensive.

                  Yeah need to find a way to get that done for health reasons too. She has a high risk of uterine cancer and I think 80%? of girl rabbits get it by age 2 that are not sprayed

                    What’s your general location? Some members might be able to suggest a more affordable vet.

                      I live in snohomish county in washington state I did ask one. There was one place that would d it for 100 but its an hour drive and we tried doing that and it really stressed hollie out so she started having runny poop so they refused the surgery i wasted 40 bucks in gas on that drive for nothing so i need to find some place as close to everett as a possibly can which is the city i live in
