Mounting maniac

[ez04...@euclid.ucdavis.edu]

I would advise that, as cruel as it sounds, you allow your little
mounting maniac to keep mounting at least one (spayed) rabbit. If
you take him away from the others, because he mounts them too
much, then he won't ever get over it. If, on the other hand, you
let him mount at least one *tolerant* girl to his heart's content,
he'll get over it, and then he can have other friends as well. When-
ever I get a new foster bun in, I have him neutered, allow him
to recuperate after the surgery, and then "give him" a tolerant
spayed female to play with (i.e. hump) for a while. After a few
days to a couple of weeks, the humping slows down considerably
and I can introduce him to the rest of my foster bunnies without
as much fighting as would have occurred had I introduced him while
he was still horny.
Just a suggestion--

Sorry I can't help you with the mounting problem, but please use the
term "spade", The "c" word gives us men chills.

Spayed is a term used for altered female rabbits
Neutered is a term used for altered male rabbits (who've been castrated
;-)

Hmmm... I believe "neuter" might be a little more appropriate. To
"spay" is to remove ovaries. "Neuter" is a non-gender form of
'to desex'. That is, according to my handy dandy American Heritage
Dictionary.

Besides, everybody knows men come already spayed. ;) (no ovaries)
