This can be normal behavior in pairs when there are changes. I think it’s anxiety related and can take awhile to calm down.

I think once Cinnamon is tired of it he will let her know. I would just try to calm both of them down when you see this behavior happening.

Have they been together as a pair since you got them from Best Friends?

yes, i remember you! how are you doing?! that’s awesome that you’ve been able to bring them inside during this time. is there any possibility that they’ll be able to stay inside permanently, or will this just be temporary?

i surround mine with a NIC grid fence… it keeps them out from underneath it. make sure it’s big enough to go fully around so they can’t scoot past.

Oh I remember you! We have a bonded pair at my shelter and when I clean cages little bunbun gets humped by Roger throughout; Of mine, Rupert will hump Kahlua when we are doing any changes in the house-like big cleaning jobs or moving furniture. Definitely normal but you still feel for the bun-on-the-bottom!

The NIC cube fence is great for keeping them away from anything =and great if they are only inside for a while and you need something temporary, as you can just clip off the zipties and put the cubes away when they go back outside!

OH my.  Once you have things bunny proofed you are pretty much done with spending big $.  Can you get NIC cubes or an x pen? 

You might want to purchase some cubes and cube off the plants-you could use clips and then you could take them down when the buns aren’t out if you’d like.

For peeing, can you move the cat litter box? Sounds territorial to me, they can probably smell the cats business and are marking.

Do you have some type of ex-pen you could set up to give them their exercise time so that you can have some more time to bunny proof? I built a pretty big ex-pen out of NIC cubes, and then I put a sheet down on the ground and put the ex-pen on top of that and then let the bunnies run around in there if I want to let them get some exercise when I cannot supervise them.

Try wrapping tin foil around anything you don’t want the buns to chew. :]

You can buy cord covers very cheap in any hardware store if you dont find them at Walmart. Home Depot or even small Ma and Pa shops. And they are easy to cut so you dont need to use an entire cord cover on one cord. We typically only cover just the portion of a cord they may come in contact with.

What about putting a rabbit litter box next to the cat litter box? We have 4 house bunnies and they live in our finished basement. Two bonded, other two are not. So they all have litter boxes in their houses and then we have 2 “community” litter boxes downstairs so when they are out they have an additional place other than their own boxes to use. They LOVE their community boxes! lol

We also have one community potty box in our living room so that when someone is upstairs with us for free time there is a box there so they dont need to run downstairs to go. That has cut down all of the marking/peeing in other places. Who knew the community potty box would be the answer?!!

And another thing to look into is offering more diversions for play. At Home Depot/Lowes they have those QuickTubes for Cement that are made of cardboard and we have one running behind the couch the entire length of the house and at the end in the corner there is a dig box for them to play in. They all love to run in their tube and many times that is the first thing they run to when they are out playing. For just one QuickTube it was about $3 here. It will take your buns forever to even get close to destroying them. So they are a great investment.

Have you thought about spraying your plant pots with perfume or something that smells strong to deter your buns? Do you have higher tables or can you put those hooks in the ceiling where they will still get sunlight? I know this depends on the type of plants so Im just brainstorming..

I remember when you 1st joined I was confused about the Reno buns having to be outside. Do you know anyone else that took Reno buns and do you know if any of the others have come inside? I was just curious if people just assumed Reno buns couldnt be house bunnies or if there were medical issues? Just wondering…

My two lop rabbits have been together since before i bought them from the pet store (We dont get alot of shelter rabbits her in the NT, which is really good!) and it was always the male, Fluff, humping the female, Puff, then i got Fluff neutered. Fluff has stopped humping Puff, but now Puff humps him, he runs away but he never defends himself, its been a few months since the nueter. If i neuterd her to would she stop?

WEll Tiger Lilly it would subside after her hormones die down   I hear that can take 6 months for a females to die down.  Thats a long time. I hope it doesnt’ take that long.

There may still be dominance isues that come about from time to time but overall the humping would stop.  Females can be very moody if not spayed.  Very moody.  Some are and some aren’t  just depends on the bun.  But that moodiness will decrease once spayed.

To the lady that adopted the Reno bunnies   I hope everything works out with your bunny proofing.  We learn as we go.  You will block off one thing and they may find another.  There will come a point where you get it all blocked off and no more worries and chewed cords plants etc.

It will be worth the work involved once everythign is bunny proofed.  Glad that they are staying inside. And the others will be moving in too.  You will really enjoy them.

Hey wow thats a cool set up.

Thanks for the update!!

Here is an amazing run down of bunny proofing-that’ll help you with basebaords. I’m glad you moved the plants-it’s hard to know what’s poisonous!
