Last week my 9-month-old Mini lop male rabbit was exposed to another rabbit (female) for only a minute or so, (they only sniffed noses b/c I was holding him) and ever since then my rabbit thinks that everything else around him is a female rabbit...not trying to sound disgusting, but he has tried humping anything and everything (even people.) It's embarrassing me. This happens every day now. Anything I can do to make him stop this if I don't really feel like spending the money for him to have surgery?

You're rabbit has hit puberty. It would benefit him greatly to get him neutered. Here is an article and he will be much happier for it.

supply him cardboard tubes and containers to play with. decrease out holes and doors interior the containers so he can run out and in. stressful plastic cat toys (balls with bells, and so on.) are fantastic too. each and every few days, take the toys away and supply him something new, to maintain him from being bored. (positioned plastic toys by way of a dishwasher or sparkling nicely after use.) understand that maximum rabbit sleep for the duration of the day in case you're out. they're maximum energetic early morning and late afternoon/night. Giving your bunny some own interest once you get house is a large thank you to instruct him to await seeing you. Treats are good in small quantities (yet I disagree with the remark approximately Lettuce. i don't feed any of my rabbits iceburg lettuce, this is risky.) Small bits of fruit, parsley, celantro, beet vegetables, and so on. are fantastic. I ward off broccoli, califlower and rhubbarb. you additionally can get a harness and leash and take him out for a "walk". do not use a collar! they'd smash their neck... a good small canines/cat harness works large. prepare interior the abode in the previous you're taking him out. Watch what he eats exterior. ward off chemically taken care of lawns and fields. good success alongside with your bunny, it looks such as you're a worrying and undertanding bunny mom.

It is always wise to have your rabbit neutered. It will stop some agression and unwanted habits. They are also social animals, so having him neutered will help out with a friend if he ever gets one.

If you don't want to spend the money, then you will have a hard time getting it neutered. If you don't like the way he is acting, put him in a cage when other people are around.

Male animals are going to do that. Your best bet is to take him to the vet and get him neutered. It doesn't cost that much and I promise he'll be a lot more friendly if you do so. Other than that, I dont think there's anything that you can do.

its a rabbits instincts to reproduce. The exsposure probably "triggered" that instinct. If you do not plan on exsposing him to other rabbits again..i would just watch out and wait a while...and maybe he will stop.
But it would be best to have him spayed...Getting a rabbit generally isnt exspensive...look into lowcost shelters...i had mine done for 50 bucks.
GOOD LUCK!

it would be hard to have a male spayed because you neuter them. you need to have him neutered.
