My six baby rabbits where recently sexed. Mummy rabbit was living in the same hutch as two of her kids but Twinkle was a boy and has to be moved up to the middle hutch. He was such a mummies boy and was sad when he had to leave.
Here is a photo which just captured how Bunny mum ( the big one in the bottom hutch) and Twinkle (in middle hutch felt a bout each other!
Can you add a caption statement to this photo?
I would say ' I'ii miss you mum!!:(
:( Poor little fella :( Poor little mumma's boy :(
Is there any way you would consider castrating Twinkle so he and mum could be together again?
"Hey whatcha doin' down there?!"
Yes, why not have him neutered? (Mom & the other girls too, if you don't want anymore babies?)
However, please remember that if he is castrated, you will need to keep them separated for another 4-6wks or so, because he will still be able to impregnate them if placed together soon after his operation.
Let us know what you decide! Good luck!
(And congrats to Mum Bunny for bein' POTD on 2/2/02!)
Wow!!! I didn't know this. That's very interesting.Quote:

Thanks for your replies about this subject. Yes Twinkle the little boy rabbit will be getting neuteured in around two months time. This is to prevent anymore baby Bunnies from coming my way. So hopefully then he can play in the same rabbit run as his sister and Mum.
I love happy endings, don't you?:)
One bun's ceiling is another bun's floor!

An organization is like a stack of bunny hutches--bunnies on all different levels--some on the top, some on the bottom. THe buns on top look down and see smiling faces. THe buns on bottom look up and see nuthin' except butt-holes. :o
:p
WOW Zippy is that true - I thought once they're gone - no more spermies - Twinkle will have forgotton about his Mum by then.
I read that info somewhere...thinking on the HRS site...I'll go back and see if I can find it...
Another interesting tidbit---female guppies can retain the male's sperm (even after she's had the babies) for up to 6 wks. Don't remember where I read that at... Guppies are one of my all time fav. fish... SOOOO Friendly and purr-ty! (and easy to breed...can create your own color variations!) My 50 gal. tank use to be home to many, many guppies...unfortunately they caught something and despite the Rx...I lost them all! :(
I just bought 3 more...(2 males, 1 female) going to try it again...
Human males remain (I've sat here trying to come up with a word to use on a family forum) able to impregnate for a period of time after a vasectomy and it is not recommended as sole method of birth control until test have confirmed "all clear" which depends on certain ...ahem... factors. I imagine it would be the same for any mammal.
For the life of me, I can't find it now! Just searched HRS...will look a few other places and let you know...
Bunnybutts?:o :rolleyes: oh Zipster...you are too too much:D How could I ever introduce a bunny into this house with 6 dogs, two cats and two kittens :( but (butt:p) if I coulda I woulda. Except for the "bad bad bunny" stories about digging up the rugs etc. I would probably have tried by now...especially after seeing "Bunny" on POTD and beginning to "know" Miz Sophie and Hoppy and all.... oh only if I had more room :( but then I'ld probably end up with more human strays so maybe it's just as well...heavy sigh here..;)

HI Miz Laurie, itz Sophie Bunny. I thinkz you'd makez a berry gud bunny-mom. And mom sez so 2. Ya know whutz? Mine and momz landlord haz gotz bunniez. He tried 2 give Mom anudder one but I sedz she kouldn't have it--derz notz enuf roomz inna bed for it. I mean, a queen-size bed only holdz so many!

Once a female Guppy is pregnant, she can release babies about once a month for up to six months without a male in the aquarium. So your Guppy females may continue to release babies, even if you don't have a male Guppy now.
Still working on finding the rabbit info that I posted earlier....
