        I have a male and a female rabbits (genders memtioned by store) raised together free roaming since they were a month old. They love each other and lick and sleep together on a daily basis. The boy is now 3.5 months old and the girl is 4.5. Yesterday, I found hairs of my male rabbits on the floor. I also witnessed he tried to hump the girl but she run and bit him instead, thats’s where the hairs came from. But then within a few minutes, the girl licked the boy’s head as usual, which I consider apology. They slept side by side afterwards. I don’t want any liter either. Should I separate them completely until they are neutered or can I keep them together for an hour everyday?

          Yes, 100% separate until they are both fixed. The mounting and aggression in return is a sign of bunny-hormones and since your rabbits are right around their “bunny puberty” stage you definitely want to separate, get them fixed, then re-bond them. I would also be cautious and pay attention to them as they are old enough to reproduce and if they have been living together there is a change of your female being pregnant.

            Keep them 100% separated until they are neutered/spayed. At their age she may already be pregnant (females can get pregnant at 12 weeks). You should take her to the vet ASAP to find out, as she might be able to be spayed now. 4.5 months is on the young side to be spayed but not too young for an experienced vet.
