  So my rabbit Booga is a female, and is unspayed. I know all of the answers are going to tell me to spay her, but I live in toronto and spaying her is round 600 dollars so that isnt an option for now. I keep her in a large cage (its 2 large dog cages connected) and I let her out for about 8- 10 hours a day. She has a lot of space to run and binky even when she is inside her cage.
  
  So the main problem is that sometimes she goes into random modes where she just does anything to start licking my arm, and then get a good grip on it, and begins to hump my arm and bite my skin. It doesn’t hurt much but I would prefer if she did that less. Is there any way to help her behaviour? Would stuffed animals help?
  
  Please help, thank you!

  Stuffed animals will help, but honestly spaying is the only thing you can do to get all that hormonal behavior to too. And she needs it for health reasons as well.

  A stuffed animal could help, but some bunnies prefer living things to mate with. One of my three bunnies had a hump toy, the other two would only hump people (or themselves; Blue would hump his own foot lol). The only way to really stop hormonal behavior is to have her spayed.

  Is paying in installments possible?
