Congrats on your bew bun! Sounds like a littlecuttie! Sorry I can't help you out with your question although Iwouldn't be suprised if they can spray at that age. My un-neuteredthree-month-old bunny has never tried to spray my female but.... Hopesomeone can help you out!

My unneutered 5 month bunny sprays my spayed female constantly.... very stinky business...

:shock:

If there gets to be spraying... well since I am having that trouble right now... and I am clueless lol

Bub, the little stinker, is also a sprayer. He's4 months and just started all that. But he was "mature" for a goodmonth before.

Oh....he sprays ME!!! Sometimes male bunnies choose a human "mate" anddo the whole spraying and courtship thing...and mounting....:X

So keeping him from the female is no guarantee that he won't fix his affections on another female....you!
