We have a rabbit quartet living in our laundry room. All are altered and amicable. They've been getting along well, until Sassy gets h***y. She can't have kits anymore so I'm confused about her urge to be mounted. Nevertheless she will torment the bucks, honking and pursuing them.
Sassy's shameless.
Today must be one of those days for her because she was causing several kerfuffles throughout the afternoon and into the evening. To relieve the tension among the rabbits, I've been catching the irritated bucks, comforting them and then letting them hang out with me until they start digging on the furniture. That's my rabbits way of telling me they want to leave.
During the last round of commotion, I decided to clean up their area and remove the BJ produce boxes. The produce boxes have precut sides, that when flipped over, make a rabbit sized awning and the buns love them. Tonight, however I could see that the boxes were an obstacle for the escaping bucks, so I removed them.
I also swept Sassy away a couple of times and stomped loudly at her for good measure.
Rearranging their room distracted the doe, or maybe she despises being swept and stomped at. Either way, the four have quieted down.
In a month's time Sassy will probably have a false pregnancy where I'll discover wads of rabbit fur in the litterbox and bald patches on Sassy's stomach.
