Humping/Peeing Problems?

[Moon Bunny]

We just got our male bunny Ping neutered to stop him from spraying everything with pee and so he'd quit humping our female rabbit Bonsai. (She's already been spayed tho.) It's been a bit less then a week and while he's cut down on humping and spraying, he's still doing it.

Does it just take more time to get out of his systom or will he never fully stop humping and spraying? From what I've read neutering should've knocked it right out of him, but it hasn't. The humping we can deal with, but we can't have him spraying pee out of the cage and onto the carpet. We've tried half covering the cage, but I'm sure he's still getting pee on the carpet where it's not covered, and we can't FULLY cover the cage because it'll lock in the peesmell and probably give the rabbits respritory problems.

Are there any suggestions on what to do? Or will he stop in a few more weeks once the testosterone works it's way out of his systom?

Help!!!

I have heard it can take up to a month to ge tall of the hormones out of the body, and the reduction already in humping is a good sign, so hopefully it will continue to decrease over the next few weeks

Considering that I've heard they can still impregnate a doe for upt to six weeks after their neuter, I would assume it would take a while for all the hormones to get out of thei r system. Timmy was already neutered when we adopted him, so I don't really know from personal experience.

It is not a guarentee that neutering will stop behaviours like this but it helps in most cases, some times it stops it completely, sometimes it cuts it down, sometimes it doesn't do anything.

But, it can also take time for it to stop completely if it does. A week is not enough time.
