Lovely 4 month old rabbit, free to good home due to sexing cock-up!

We discovered today that our pair of female buns are infact brother and sister.

They are 4 months old and very well handled by the kids, who have decided that they'd prefer to keep the quieter female.

Mr bunny is a black and white spotted lop, very cute and friendly, but also very lively so not really suitable as a pet for very young children.

For obvious reasons he has to go asap, so come on all you bunny lovers, someone please give him a home!

Can't one or both be neutered? Rabbits are much happier and healthier with company. Female should really be done anyway to avoid ovarian cancer.

If one is neutered then they can live happily together.

I agree re the neutering but when I told DH the vets quote of £70 he said point blank that it wasn't an option. He has a point, for one reason or another recent vets bills have been excessive (we have several pets and horses, all of which DH tolerates but doesn't actually like.

We have the offer of a female from the same litter to replace the little boy if we can rehome him first.

I hate the idea of single animals in cages, which is why I chose, or at least thought I chose 2 females.

2 females are much more likely to fight when older. Very often one dies Not always but female rabbits can be really nasty to other females even siblings. Male and female with 1 neutered is the best option and much healthier for the rabbits.

I would really advise you to neuter them both.
male rabbits can be very aggressive if not neutered and will mate with anything inc my MIL's feet but moreover rabbits are prone to cancer in their reproductive organs, this is often what kills them

Have posted on the other thread - are you sure they are not both female? Our two adolscent females 'shagged' each other for ages before we had them neutered. The vet said it was normal adolescent behaviour - and they did tunr out to be female after all. I was sure one was male as she was always on top.

Unfortunately not Blu, one has wedding tackle! I've found a vet who charges £45. I'm working on persuading DH to part with the cash quickly before the reproduce and we have a whole family of them to sort out.

ah!
Pretty definite, then!

Sell the babies? Can they get pg at 4 months?

I couldn't believe how much we paid for our rabbits.
