a question for female rabbit owners

[black_jack]

Thelast week or so our bunnies have been making a terrible mess.I say bunnies plural but have a sneaking suspicion that it may be ourunspayed female that is causing all the mess. There areexcess pellets and they no longer seem to be going in their hutch, theyhave dragged newspaper out the hutch onto the carpet and she seems hellbent on escaping.


Are these hormones do you think? Would spaying resolve this?

how old is the unspayed bunny? soundslike she may be going through her teenage stage fun fun!! iwould suggest doing a spay as that would help calm her down.

okay, we have booked hetti in for fridaymorning. I know about having a male rabbit neutered so knowthe basics of towels instead of hay monitoring the droppings and aencouraging them to eat... what do i do about seperating my bunnyrabbits?

I have read that u should restrict the females movements for about 5-6days so is it best for me to move hetti out of the rabbit room duringthis time or just leave her in there with jack but keep her in herhutch?

They bonded about a month and a half ago is this seperation period going to upset this?

Bit worried and sad for my bun but it has to be done as she is being really loud and destructive
