Rabbits will begin to display sexual behavior as they reach sexual maturity at around 12 weeks for males and 20 weeks for females.

The best thing you can do about this is to spay or neuter your pet as this will reduce such behavior.

If your rabbit is displaying this behavior towards you, sometimes giving them there own "stuffed toy" to play with can help to reduce their sexual frustration.

What is a rabbit sexual or asexual?

No, rabbits are not asexual: they're mammals.More about asexual/sexual: Biologically-speaking, no animals are asexual: only plants, fungi, bacteria, single-celled organisms, etc. can be asexual. Sometimes humans are said to be "asexual" because they don't like sex, but really these people are still sexual beings because they can't reproduce any other way (this is defines us as "sexual" or "asexual," the way we're able to reproduce).More about rabbit sexuality: Rabbits are very much sexual. Like humans, they do not have 'heat' periods and they breed, pretty much, whenever they can get at each other. The expression 'multiply like rabbits,' did not come from a perception of asexuality! The main thing which happens when rabbits of both sexes are in an area, and they aren't neutered/spayed, and they have food and water and space, what will happen is more rabbits -- decrease space, increase rabbits, decrease food, water: one still gets more rabbits, but really asocial rabbit behaviour (fights, eating kits, males and females with all sorts of non-usual behavior). A northern europian sociologist studied the problems of crowding with rats; it works with rabbits and humans, he decided.


Your boy rabbit is 7 month and your girl rabbit is 2 and they ware having sexual intercorse?

Why do you want to breed your rabbits? There are tens of thousands of unwanted rabbits in rescue centres desperately looking for good homes. There are not enough good homes for these poor unwanted rabbits as it is. Please don't add to this problem by breeding unnecessarily! You are being irresponsible allowing these rabbits to mate.Your female rabbit should be neutered. Not only to prevent her becoming pregnant and bringing more rabbits into a world but also for her health. 80% of female rabbits get womb cancer by 6 years of age if they are not neutered. If she is neutered she can live with the male rabbit for company. Rabbits are happier when they have company.If you care for your rabbit, please be a responsible owner and don't breed her.


Can two male rabbits have babies together?

It is usually not advised to keep two male rabbits together, especially if there are females nearby. However, if the pair are acquired together as youngsters, like littermates, and neutered before they reach sexual maturity, the chances for successful cohabitation greatly increases.


Why do rabbits hump stuffed animals?

Rabbits hump stuffed animals and other such things (like furry boots) for the same reason that humans masturbate: to satisfy the sexual urge. "Mounting" is a different behaviour than "humping" but they are sometimes confused by human onlookers. Humping involves mounting but also there's a clear back-and-forth action and it's sexually-based. Mounting, however, is often related to dominance or social status -- the dominant rabbit will mount the subordinate rabbit just so everyone knows who's boss, and it's not necessarily a sexual act. It's recommended that rabbits are neutered/spayed. Neutered/spayed rabbits usually won't hump things, although they may still mount other rabbits in a display of dominance. (There are many reasons to spay/neuter rabbits, not just so they'll leave your stuffed animals alone. See the related link below).

Do pregnant rabbits hump other rabbits?

Rabbits exhibit 'humping' behavior as they reach sexual maturity. They don't care about age. Actual humping behavior is acting out their future sexual behaviors. Rabbits are actually capable of procreating at 4 months. There is a difference between immature humping and actual sexual intercourse. I'm not sure which you are referring to.

I have separated my two rabbits after almost a year because one became aggressive was this a good idea?

Yes, if one of your rabbits is exhibiting signs of aggression, I would definitely separate them. However, due to their age, I would consider the aggressive behavior to be sexual in nature. If you do not plan to breed your rabbits, I would consider having them spayed or neutered. This could clear up any sexual aggression.
