  Hi!
  
  So, it was approximated that Reese, my newly adopted bun, is about a year old
  
  He hasn’t been fixed and I do plan on doing that.
  
  But in the last 24 hours, he’s suddenly taken to humping on literally anything he can: his bed, in particular, but my legs are also a hot item which is uncomfortable for a number of reasons.
  
  I’m not sure what I can do to tame this, aside from have him fixed.
  
  Any input?
  
  Thank you!

  Have him fixed That’s about the only thing that will curb the behavior and even then it takes 4-6 wks for all the testosterone to leave his little body and for the humping to stop. Hopefully anyway. He may still hump for dominance or just because . You may want to give him a stuffed animal (make sure it’s safe for him first) and see if he can express his love that way. I have an intact 3 (approx) yr old male as well that I got around Thanksgiving and haven’t been able to have neutered yet (June hopefully) and he is in love with arms & legs! When he gets real excited I tell him “where’s your baby?” (a stuffed floppy dog with floppy ears) and he will run over and give his baby some love instead of scratching and biting all over our arms & legs!

  haha.
  Thanks, to both of you!
  I tried a stuffed animal so we’ll see how that goes.
  We have a vet appointment in the morning.

  I have one rabbit that isn’t fixed, because he has had a seizure. The vet is afraid he won’t make it through the surgery.
  
  He humps everything. The only way to stop alot of it is to fix them. He’ll probably keep doing it for dominance, but it should be alot better.
