         So I went to the foster home of two girl bunnnies that I was planning to adopt. However, they said that the girls aren’t available because one became bonded to the mother and the other is having behavior problems so she isn’t available at the moment either. However, the two boys were available. They are both fixed and bonded, but I was wondering if there was any reason NOT to get the guys. My reasons for getting girls was because my last rabbit (a male and fixed) kept spraying outside of his cage (he would sit in his litter box, stand on his front legs, and deliberately pee outside of the cage). I had read that fixed females couldn’t do that. Has anyone had issues with fixed males? 

         

        Basically, what are the pros and cons of getting male rabbits over female rabbits?

         

        Oh, also, will the boys be more likely to fight than the girls or anything? They are brothers who have been bonded since they were born and are fixed, but is there any reason that they would get more aggressive or anything?

          I have several of both and honestly they are all different… I have noticed though that my two boys are the most affectionate, another is very attention driven and always want you to be focused on him… My girls all vary, Pepper likes attention on her terms and will tap at you when in the enclosure and want to be a part of what you are doing though not necessarily cuddled… She likes to help with the chores, riding the broom and dustpan is one of her favourites. Pipi and Nermal like to be noticed but not necessarily touched… Blossom suffers from anxiety and always carries on as if you are planning to eat her.. The only time I can really cuddle her is after a butt bath when she is bunrittoed and I am trimming her bottom fur..For some reason she relaxes then and will submit to nose rubs and ear stroking. Maybe having a war clean bottom is the key.

            So it looks like to you the boys are more friendly/attention seeking? Have you noticed anything about their litterbox habits (are girls or guys better at always using the litterbox)?

              I’ve honestly noticed no real differences between my spayed/neutered male or female rabbits. Litter habits, behaviors, ect… Neither was more affectionate than the other or easier to train. It really depends on the personality of the rabbit which you will only be able to determine by meeting them or talking to someone who spends time with them.
