strange behavior that starts lately with my rabbits

[Arnav]

my female rabbit Lola climbing on Nuly’es head (my male rabbit) and start to quake on his head  and bite his back 

it all starts from chasing each other. 

doesn’t it suppose to be the opposite? Lola is a female for sure because we spayed her a few months ago, and nully as well.

we didn’t see Nully does it to Lola. 

why she does that?

How old are they? Are they fixed?

If it’s just happening suddenly she may be feeling hormonal and therefore territorial

A female rabbit will mount a male to tell him that she’s in charge

Of course, they will do this after she’s spayed as well buy if it’s a sudden thing then I’d be concerned about hormones

Either way you should keep a eye on them, while the occasional chasing is fine and a display of domanice as well they may cause one or the other to stress

Infact some people might suggest seperating them and re bonding them in neutral areas to get it sorted out since it sounds like they are having issues

Or of either aren’t fixed you should definitely seperating until at least a month after they are both fixed and re start the bonding

It is sexual behavior. She is trying to be the dominant/top bunny. Time to get her neutered and him also if you haven’t done so yet
