Question:i have a male rabbit of 5 months. I bought a baby male rabbit at the weekend to keep him company. The older rabbit keeps on "humping" the younger rabbit who is terrified! If I get the older rabbit neutered will it stop this?

no buy a female so they will hump her
no getting it neutred wont help anything. it just makes it unable to reproduce. i would separate them. good luck with that!

My family has two rabbits that are now about 2 years old but we have had them since they were both baby's. In the beginning they were the best of friends and then the bigger one started humping the smaller and to stop this we put a stuffed animal in the run so the rabbit has another object of affection to "play" with. This stopped the humping problem but then the older one became really agressive to the younger one to where we had to sepperate them completely so they didnt kill each other. So i guess the simple answer is that you should get them both neutered as even if the humping stops it is more than likely that they will become agressive to one another without being fixed. Hope this helps!
separate them it would have been OK if you have got them both together as tiny babies
I would be careful with two bucks. They sometimes will attack each other and fight to the death. I wouldn't recommend having two bucks. Getting them neutered may help.
You may have to seperate them, 2 male rabbits dont usually get on together.
