I agree. It almost sounds like he’s trying to get away, like he doesn’t like having his head pet and he’s trying to back away from your hand but he’s being held there.

The picture looks more fur mite-ish. Regardless, the treatment would be the same – Either ivermectin or selamectin.

PSA – Just a little public service announcement. Although products containing fipronil (Frontline, etc.) are effective against mites, this ingredient is toxic to rabbits. Never use fipronil on rabbits.

Welcome to Binkybunny! What a CUTIE Jinx is! I love his little snoot fur pattern.

I have a bonded pair who are a little similar. I’ve had them about a year and a half. We had the female first, decided to adopted the male and bonded them (successful bonding with help of this forum!). Your post makes me feel better because I’ve been trying so hard to develop a relationship with them. My male is more interested in me then the fem…[Read more]

I dont quie understand what you are describing either. It it like he’s struggling to get away from you when you’re holding him?

Thank you for your response!

He doesn’t really fall backwards and he doesn’t push my hand follows my hand  so it looks like I’m holding him on his back (I support his bottom) so it looks like he’s falling back but if I stop stroking mid stroke he goes back on my chest.

Okey thank you, I’ll talk to my vet and see what he wants to do 

There could definitely be a health issue. Unaltered bunnies will often bite each other’s privates, especially when there’s mounting involved, so maybe he had an injury or something?. I would definitely get them checked out by a vet, you will need to anyway at some point to have the surgery. Vets typically require a health check prior to anesthesia.

I’m not quite sure what you’re describing. Does he completely fall over? Or is he pushing your hand backward with his head?

If he has his jewels, then you’re technically good to go. Boys can be neutered as soon as their testicles drop. If he’s super tiny, the vet may want to wait until he is a little bigger. But that really depends on the vet and how confident they are neutering a rabbit.
