  Well, we believed we had a boy and a girl. We quickly learned that we have two boys. Butters just humps and humps and humps and well, you get it. Peanut sometimes walks over and “presents” himself to Butters. They don’t fight at all but Peanut now has a bald spot from where Butters will pull and chew while trying to get a good grip, I guess.
  
  Should we seperate them or be worried? They will be going in to get “fixed” with in the month but I don’t want Peanut to become bald before then.

  Are you sure they are both males? Have they been sexed by a vet?
  
  I would separate them until they are altered.

  Yes, how do you know they are both male?
  
  If they are both male and there is no aggression between them, you can try keeping them together until the neuter. Humping isn’t harmful (again, assuming they are sexed correctly) unless the one being humped gets angry and turns to attack. Another option, can you call and move up the neuter appointment sooner?

  I wouldn’t assume they are both boys just because one likes to mount the other, although, I can see why you might think so if they are both hormonal! My female rabbit is fixed, but she likes to show her dominance over my male by mounting him when she gets exctied (say, about veggies).
  
  Like everyone else has already said, separate them until you get them fixed if they are being aggressive towards each other; if they fight too much, they might not want to be friends later on!

  Definitely separate!
  
  How did you find out they are boys? If Peanut is actually presenting himself for humping, and not running away, it’s possible he’s a female. Most bunnies do not like to be humped unless they are receptive to mating.

  My dad had a pair of gay male cats. They were perfectly happy with the arrangement. As long as all animals are genuinely happy, and not suffering permanent damage, to each their own. Fur grows back.

  If you haven’t had them properly sexed I would encourage you to do this. Humping is not just a male “thing” – females do this as well, so don’t make the assumption that both are males based on this behavior.
  
  It would be imperative though if you have a male/female pair to separate them to ensure that there are no unwanted pregnancies.

  they are both boys, they have the balls to prove it. pardon the language.
  
  I only get paid once a month, so no chance in moving the surgery. They don’t fight, Butters mounts, humps and then goes to the corner and flops and Peanut goes and curls up next to him.

  Oh good! That is very definitive proof then!
  
  If you’re more comfortable, you can separate them now and work on the bond again once they are neutered. Or like I said, keep them together until/unless they become aggressive.
