  Hello. I have had my rabbits 6 months now. Flip started to bite the hair out of flops neck so we decided to get her spayed as was getting a bit aggressive. She has never been aggressive towards me or my partner! She has been spayed for 5 days now and is more aggressive than ever is biting flops nose and will not go in the same cage as she will bite and chase flop. Flop is not aggressive she will just run away or lay there! I need help is this normal or am I going to need 2 cages!

  It’s perfectly normal for a newly desexed rabbit to become super-hormonal behavior-wise. It’s sometimes called a post- neuter/spay craze. All unwanted sexual behaviors such as aggression, spray marking, humping etc can become greatly enhanced for a few weeks after a de sexing. Then the hormones will eventually die down.
  So I suggest that you hold off trying to re-bond your buns for a few weeks, maybe a month.
  There is of course also the, less likely but still, possibility that your newly spayed girl is aggressive due to post-op (physical) pain. How is her appetite and poop?
