Will a female rabbit hump another female?

Answer 1

Yes, normally both girl rabbits hump each other to show who is the top or best rabbit. I also have two rabbits who hump each other, lol. Say you had two rabbits like me and one rabbit jumps on top of the other and starts biting the bottom one, that means the top one is telling the bottom one that its is the best. XD

Answer 2

Yes, female rabbits can exhibit humping behavior towards other females. This behavior is not necessarily related to sexual behavior and can be a way for them to establish dominance or determine hierarchy within a group.

Answer 3

yes, my male rabbit is neutered (had his balls chopped off) but my female rabbit is still sexual, she get quite horny and forcefully humps the male, even though he does try to run away from her... :L

Answer 4

Yes. And females do it too.

Answer: Yes, females mount females and males as well. Rabbits live in a heirarchy. Mounting, scent marking, fighting etc are ways to establish dominance.

Later down the line rabbits will mount again just to reassert their dominance.

Answer 5

The dominance behavior of rabbits looks like mating, but female rabbits will not actually try to mate eachother.

This is a behavior used to signal any buck in the immediate area that they are ready to breed. What are your rabbits doing together so they can mount each other? Every rabbit should have it's own cage, it's own territory so to speak.

Answer 6

Yes, a female will sometimes mount another rabbit in a show of dominance. This is an aggressive behaviour. (She's not really trying to have sex with that rabbit -- she knows better than that.)

Answer 7

sadly yes Its very gross I know.... but not all females will try to mate the other

This is a common activity among many diffeent animals. They are not actually trying to mate each other but actually using this behavior to signal to a buck that they are ready to breed.

Answer 8

this happens to all rabbits the same sex . female to female or male to male it is to show dominance over the two rabbits so don't worry it won't harm them it is just natural and would happen in a warren in the wild

Answer 9

Chances are good, that they are mating.

If the male isn't neutered, then probably it means he is trying to mate with the female. If you aren't trying to breed them, then you should get both of them neutered (or "spayed" as it's called for females), otherwise they won't have a good relationship and the male could hurt the female.

If the male is neutered, then he's trying to assert himself as the dominant rabbit. Rabbits are social animals and live in hierarchies. Occasional mounting is fine but if the male rabbit starts acting aggressively, then you should separate the rabbits.

Answer 10

Can happen. Humping among animals isn't always about sex, it can be about domination too.
