Sounds like she may be doing just fine. I'd encourage her to eat as much hay as possible. Hay can push things through the gut. It also makes them thirsty. Drinking lots of water is good and also flushes things through. So keep adding fresh hay throughout the day to encourage more hay eating.

Cute! Welcome to the forum!

Normally I would not recommend an intact buck for bonding. However, since this male is already advanced in years, it is possible that it could work. It will largely depend on how compatible their personalities are. It certainly is worth a "bunny date" to see if it has potential.

Welcome, neighbor!

Welcome to the forum! Photos of your rabbits would be great.

No fruit during trip. Don't want to add sugar for a rabbit that will already be stressed. Do not stop every 2-3 hours. The fewer stops, the better. The hum of the car engine will be something he gets accustomed to. Every time the engine stops, it will begin to stress him as he senses something...

Yes. Was also going to say that if you didn't want to deal with more baby rabbits, you could still have her spayed now.

Then as others have stated, you'll need to block him from getting on your bed.

Yup. He could've heard something that we humans couldn't hear and it spooked him.

How old is your rabbit? It sounds like he is simply hormonal. Hormones can affect different rabbits to different degrees. Hormones can cause some undesirable behaviors like urine spraying, but that typically stops after being neutered (though it can take several weeks after surgery for hormones...

Has he always just eaten hay or is this refusing of pellets a new thing for him? Does he eat anything else? Greens, etc?

Damp cloth, then let her clean the rest.

Have you considered getting locally sourced hay from a feed store? That is often a good way to get fresher hay and definitely cheaper hay.
