  Today Teddy was out playing and Luna tried to have a bit of a go at him (they can’t actually get one another, but they try) and Teddy sprayed some pee!
  
  Does this mean he’s hit puberty or is this some sort of fear/aggression thing?
  He’s about 3 and a half months now.
  Thanks!

  Spraying is an act of dominance so probably. Male bunnies can get neutered as young as 3 months. I would pick him up and check to see if his testicles have dropped, they’ll be two red patches on his underside near his butt. Getting him neutered is important if you want to terminate this sort of behavior and will also help decrease the stench of his urine.

  Hmmm… can’t see anything there, but I know they can suck them in if they’re scared, so they may just be hiding.
  He does stink too, haha!

  It’s definitely possible. Poor thing just had that ordeal with the vet stay though. Are you going to talk to your vet about when they think it will be okay to neuter him?

  Can’t stand that male stench. Ew! And they leave it around sometimes. You’ll be so happy when he’s neutered, won’t you?
