Female too interested in baby male?!

[Jen]

I just got a 2 month old male lol today and my one year old female rabbit is aware he is here because she can see him in his little play pen (can’t reach him obviously) but she keeps trying to get a better look and lean over to see and sniff him, she also is chinning me! I am not going to physically introduce them to eachother for at least 3 moths because the male needs be be neutered! Isn’t he mean time should I be concerned she is so interested in him and chinning me? Is that aggressive/ territorial behaviour, if so is there anything I can do to stop that?? Please help

Try and create a screen so she can’t see him, females are often territorial and suddenly she has someone else’s baby in HER home.

It would be best if he wasn’t in her territory (ie her room) until closer to bonding. That way he won’t seem like an imminent threat to her stuff.
Babies also have different smells than adults, so it’s not really beneficial to have him there for her to “get used to”

Will do!! Thankyou for the advice
