Not at all - thanks for the warning, it's something I need to be sure of - I'm only getting a second rabbit to keep her company! If she'll hate him, there's no point.

I asked the rabbit breeder whether to get a doe or buck, she recommended a buck (even though she knew there was an expensive doe which I liked the look of) - I'll check again with her.

They are probably right. Does are massively territorial. And quite violent.

The most I've seen bucks do is hump each other for dominance.

I've checked on a rabbit forum (!) apparently they need to be kept separate for about 4 weeks post op, I'll see if the breeder can keep him for a few weeks after he's 'done' - failing that, I've found another otter rex which is a rescue bun, and they can keep him til he's hormone free...... so I now have 2 options! Thanks for the info guys!

GIR - even Buttons, who is sweet natured, got quite nasty as she approached sexual maturity age - that's one of the reasons we had her spayed, it's also better for them (about 95% of does will die of ovarian cancer by the age of 5, if not spayed). Wow, I'm becoming a rabbit anorak!

I'm becoming a rabbit anorak!

I still wear a pair of jeans with a hole in them from a friend's rabbit who nibbled right through them to me leg about 12 years ago! It happened really quickly - their teeth must be razor sharp!

But OMFG, the cuteness!

The weirdness:

The softness:
