I think it depends on the bun. Lady still follows and circles, but its not like, hormonal circling, its sit down and love me circling. |

It depends on the bunny. Otto only circled me once or twice, both long after he was neutered (he wasn't affectionate at all as a young bun, before or after neuter, so I think he circled me when he actually started to like me). He circles Hannah every once in a while too - it's really cute once I realize what he's doing. |

Oo well I happen to have a pretty cute video of my bridge bunny circling me and licking my feet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL6W...rg He was neutered and just very affectionate, always grooming me and circling me.
My two bunnies are currently spayed and neutered and they circle me at the same time following each other super fast, it's so funny. They do it when around the times of day when they get their pellets.
So I wouldn't worry about the circling going away once he's neutered circling can mean they are courting you or are begging or just love you.  |

Powder will run in a circle around me, especially if I have food - or he expects me to have food and he's neutered. |

Oh yeah, I should say that they definitely circle me when it's time for food, but that's a feeding frenzy more than nice circling. lol |

Zeus got neutered 3 weeks ago or so, and he still circles me when he wants attention or I'm getting him snacks out of the fridge.  |

Squirrel will run circles around me when he is out to play. I'll stand there and he'll run in circles around my feet  It's adorable. And he is definitely neutered |

Mine don't really circle, but they never really did to begin with. Wooly will jump up on his hind legs though when he's begging. Leopold just nose bonks me. |

So I figured since he circles a lot now and it just seems like a happy binky thing not a i'm sexually frustrated thing he'll probably do it after D-Day. I hope :/ |

Haha. I'm guessing you haven't been sprayed with urine while he circles yet then. It becomes considerably less "cute". |

Hahah yeah trust me, you want to get him neutered, as Beka said spraying is not cute. They go up on their front paws and swing their bunny butt around and suddenly there's pee everywhere :/ It's gross. |

So very true about the spray. When Piglet first started to feel frisky he managed to spray a 5 ft long arc about 4 feet up the sunroom wall.
That was when I thought they were both boys. |

So glad I've never been sprayed!
We did have one little guy when I worked at the shelter who sprayed like crazy. Obviously he was still intact when he first came in and for the first week he sprayed constantly in a perfect arc outside his cage (it was reddish pee too, so kind of looked like there was a zombie attack). We were all really excited when he got the snip! |

yeah I've never been sprayed and I've never seen him spray anything actually *knocks on wood*. Although he might have sprayed his pen at my parents once (I can't tell if it was that or he missed litterbox because it was right next to box and I've discovered my boy HAS to have a high back litterbox because he pushes himself as tight as possible into the corner). I'm assuming if and when this happens the urgency to neuter will become apparent. Unfortunately, I just found out today that I do not have the funds for it right now. Probably this spring I will. I overdid Christmas  |

Vivian is a senior bunny who has been spayed for many years -- I still get circled for treats! |

I think spraying mostly happens when there are other rabbits - I've only rarely heard of single rabbits spraying. |

My bunny got spayed last week, she's 8 months. She has stopped the humping but will circle and give little honks when I give her food still. |

My Bighead still circles and honks as much as he did before he got neutered.
I did receive a circle spray once from him (on his first day home from the shelter). He now sprays by the litter bin walls once in a while. I've had to resort to putting up covers to protect the walls. |

Jack used to do that alot. And I used to always blame Jack, but the other day for the first time ever, I saw spray on the wall by the litter box! I only have Vivian now and so I was amazed at that, as I have never seen her spray. And I still have a hard time believing it. But it's either her or Jack's ghost!

Madam Pepper Bunny definitely sprays. She's always been the alpha bun which is why I originally thought she was the boy. Pepper was the one doing all the humping at first so I had resolved to take Piglet and Pepper together to be neutred, then Pepper had her litter. Any way, spraying......
Madam was in a mood the other night and decided she was not going to bed, I was led a merry chase all over the sun room and play pen (and yes hse enjoys making me chase her) when I nearly had her she bounced a few feet forward lifted her cotton tail and sprayed me. Luckily she didn't get the range and missed me but the intent was there. She even checked over her shoulder to check her aim, Fiend!
I had to break out the big guns to get her in the hutch after that but Pepper can never resist a bouquet of Fennel and parsley.

Tehehee! Vivian probably gives you the "cute look" and pretends it was Jack's ghost. Or maybe she does in memory of Jack. |

Powder has only sprayed me once and that is because I moved his litter box for a second to get something out from behind it and as soon as I moved it, he rushed up to me and started spraying :s got it on my arms, my legs and my hands ... never mess with bunny's litter box! lol |
