RABBITS buck’s testacles bleeding

[Iva S.]

I woke up to see my 2 boys have blood on them. They’re 7 months old, litter mates, and are not neutered. One had blood on his rump, the other had his balls and penis bleeding. I assume he tried to mount the other boy and he didn’t like it. Was this a sign of aggression or just them showing dominance?Anyways, I’ve cleaned them both up, but what do I do now? Monitor them to make sure the wound doesn’t become infected and there are no more alterations?

Separate those boy now. They will kill each other. You cannot keep boys together.

Hopefully it heals. Males will attempt to castrate each other. Looks like that's what happened.

Should I put Neosporin or an antibiotic ointment on it or something?

I personally wouldn't because rabbits groom themselves pretty good and it will just lick it off.

I will tag a more experienced rabbit keeper and see if she comes by. @Bunnylady
