Choosing a Pet Rabbit -  Male or Female?

 

This is really personal preference, but my vote goes for the male rabbit. 

Almost all of our male rabbits have a much more outgoing personality and are always eager for attention. 

Our females, and of course we have exceptions, are more reserved and seem to prefer less attention, if given the choice! 

Many female rabbits, approaching adolescence, become instinctively territorial when it comes to their personal cage space, and sometimes this continues throughout their lives.  These territorial girls can still make good pets, they just need more time and patience on your part.

All male and female sexually intact rabbits go through some form of 'raging hormones' when they approach young adulthood (do I dare say, similar to teenagers??) and may exhibit increased urine spraying,  marking, and aggressiveness.  These behaviors usually decrease with maturity or if the animal is spayed or neutered.
