* Hormonal Imbalance: Rabbits can experience hormonal fluctuations, which can lead to increased sexual behavior, even towards other males.
* Lack of Spayed/Neutered Female: The males might be seeking a mate and, in the absence of a female, are attempting to mate with each other.
* Territorial Issues: If the rabbits are stressed or feeling competitive, they might engage in mounting behavior as a display of dominance.
What You Should Do:
1. Consult a Veterinarian: It's important to have your rabbits examined by a veterinarian specializing in rabbits. They can check for any underlying health issues and assess the situation.
2. Consider Spaying/Neutering: Spaying/neutering can significantly reduce or eliminate unwanted sexual behavior in rabbits. It also helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and can reduce territorial aggression.
3. Separate Rabbits: Temporarily separating the rabbits might be necessary to prevent further attempts at mating. This will give them space and reduce stress.
4. Monitor for Other Signs: Watch for other signs of stress or aggression, like urine spraying, biting, or fur pulling, and address them accordingly.
Remember that rabbits are prey animals and can be easily stressed. By taking these steps and providing a calm environment for your rabbits, you can ensure their well-being and happiness.
