Uncontrollable baby girl (Desperately needs help T_T)

[lohlohz]

Hi all,

I desperately need help for my 4months old Netherlands dwarf girl bunny, bumi. I brought her home when she is around 6weeks old, i already have a male bunny, a now 13months old lionheadlop, fluffy.

I understands that Netherlands dwarf breed tend to be more hyper and jumpy, I am absolutely fine with it. However, when i let her out to run around in the house, she would pee every single place that fluffy went and lied. As days goes by, she started spraying pee on the wall and even pee on fluffy whenever she jump pass him. Fluffy is very tame and cool with it, when he sees her lying down, he would go over and cuddle with her. Only a few times, then he will tick off and chase over her.

I read through some articles that says all the territorial behaviours will be gone after spaying, but I'm fearful that if they do not go away after spaying, i would have to give bumi away, which I do not want to, they are my babies and i don't wish to give either
of them away.

For now, two of them have separated cage, but I let bumi have the bigger one and gave her toys and made a mini maze for her, while fluffy have the standard cage as he is most of the time be out in the house when someone is at home.

Now, I desperately need help in dealing this situation with Bumi, hope some I would get some advices here.

I highly recommend spaying her. (I honestly don't remember how old they need to be). The sooner you get it done the better the chances are that her behavior will completely stop once her hormones are gone. The longer she goes in tact the more her actions run the risk of becoming behavioral and may not go away completely after a spay. My bunny Faith was peeing and pooing everywhere at 6 months (that's when she was given to me). After her spay surgery she's a model citizen! :happybunny:

Definitely spaying will help. She is acting super hormonal with your boy around and that is completely instincts. Is your boy neutered? That would certainly help if she becomes spayed and is still having trouble adjusting. Intact bucks have very strong smells that drive does crazy and the other way around

Neutering helped with all of ours.

Yes definitely spay her.
