  Yep, bunnies (both sexes) spray to mark. The spray is urine.

  Orange pee is normal colored for rabbits. It’s not exclusive to spraying pee, just any pee in general can be orange. You cannot stop spraying since it’s such an instinctual need for rabbits. It could be either rabbits spraying, depending on how mature the non neutered one is and how recently the neutered one was done. Spraying is a behavior that can crop up in unneutered rabbits and stick around up to a couple months following a neuter.
  
  Wick began to exclusively spray me three days before his neuter. I realized he only sprayed me, so when I’d notice him circling to do it, I literally just stood up and exited the situation, haha. I ran and he would get distracted with something and not spray.

  they are 6, 7 next June and the one who was done was about a year ago I wouldn’t mind but their behaviour overall is going down as they are now getting aggressive marking and also does anyone know how to stop them from eating the Xmas tree? the lights are out of reach but it’s a fake one and so don’t want them getting ill? I’ve tried blocking it off but they are taking an interest even though last yeah they didn’t care about it!

  They definitely shouldn’t be eating a fake tree! Can you put a pen around it?
  
  Alternatively, you could get an untreated real one, which is safe for them to eat!

  i do stop them and it has seemed to have stopped and I am trying to get my dad to make something to put around it as money is tight but he’s a little slow and he thinks rabbits are the lowest on the pecking order only just above the hamsters!
