Peeing/Spraying Red

Hello there...

This is kind of an unusual queation..or atleast I think it is...I have a 9 1/2 month old male Beverean Bunn...He's not fixed...But anyhow...I just recently had 3 babies who were a few weeks old for about a week...as I was in the middle of transport for saving them...and my bunny would get very frisky and try and mount them...but also he would spray red....I remember him doing this a couple times when he was very small....Now the one or more of the babies was also peeing red sometimes too..Is it maybe because of horomone change?

Oh No..I never let him in with the buns...just let him sniff them and he'd come aroud their cage and lay on top on it or sit by it...Obviously a male rabbit who isn't neutered with babies is crazy...He tried to mount them once when I had the babies in my lap...and would get frisk around them...I made an appt for a health check then at the end of the month one for neutering..I just hope his personality wont change..He's such a friendly and fun spirited bunn...Hes alwas following me around making his little grunting buzzy noise of happiness

Oh good was just checking

Neutering him will improve his personality if anything, will calm his hormones down, he will still be friendly and follow you around. My joey is so much nicer neutered now, he's the same but just doesnt spray everywhere and try and hump everything haha! He's a good age to be neutered too, makesure your vet is experienced in rabbits, mine is brilliant and keeps them in overnight to makesure they are pooing and eating, costs more than some but is worth it for piece of mind.
