My female rabbit chewed off most of my male rabbits whiskers. Why did she do that and will it hurt him?

Question

They are both spayed/neutered, and she is the dominant one. He just sits there and lowers his head and submits to her. He didnt even flinch when she did it. Will his whiskers grow back?

Answer 1

yes but tell her no when she does it or get your hand in there

Answer 2

They will grow back. It is perfectly normal. Even though this type of behavior should be discouraged, it is something that is very hard to prevent when you pair rabbits. If it gets to the point where she starts to chew the fur off of his face, then you need to separate them.
