Hi! I\'m so happy I found this site, because I can\'t find the answers...
I have a 6 month old boy - neutered, and just got a 10 month old girl - spayed. Tried to introduce them to each other, and everything seem to be going without fights, but He chaises Her around and contineusly pulling hair out of Her butt! She\'s very submissive and doesn\'t fight Him at all, but She runs away when he keeps biting Her butt, and that incourages Him to chase Her. So... - I got scared Girl, and butt-pulling-hair Boy.
How normal is it and how do I keep them at peace with one another?
My vet didn\'t know, my books don\'t say anything about it...
Has anybody gone through the introduction process of two bunnies?
Thank you so much!

If your boy is only 6 months old hes probably only been neutered for a short time.i think his hormones have not calmed down yet.just put them together for short periods for awhile.bluebird
Okay, I laughed out loud at that one ..... butt-pulling hair boy..! LOL

I only have one male rabbit, so I\'m not experienced on this, but I\'m certainly enjoying the stories I read!!
Do they have separate houses? You may want to try letting them out at different times for a little bit while the other is close by and can be checkes out in safety. Once they get to know each other a bit better things may calm down. I also agreee with bluebird, his hormones may need more time to settle before he can spend extended time with another rabbit.

Good luck.
Thank you. I do keep them separate as of right now, but my butt-hair-pulling boy spookes my lady even trought the cage! She jumps every time he gets close!
...I just hope one day they\'ll get alone....
What do I do about the hair pulling though? I\'m afraid she\'ll end up naked-butted...;((
