So soundwave got the all clear from the vets, so no physical reason why he a grump. Vet does think that on a bunny level thundercracker and soundwave are wynding each other up, so the sofa is going between them.
I've just to keep an eye on him, so far there has only been one episode of nuttiness. I can live with a grumpy bun as long as he OK and happy.

It could be a case of approaching spring.
Even neutered buns feel spring stirrings ... more of a general thing than a sexual one. And if there is a chance that he can scent a wild rabbit in the area who is responding to spring as well then that could really get to him.
Try using one of those adaptil plug in things or a neutralising spray to lessen the rabbit scents in the room.

It always was a factor in my buns behavior at this time of year, even those in the house felt the stirrings.

Come to think of it Holly is being a bit naughtier than usual at the moment and one minute very affectionate and the next minute sitting on her own. I think she is definitely feeling the onset of spring.

My does were always spurred on to dig burrows about now and the bucks took to chinning everything and their pee smelt stronger.

Haha, Holly always does a lot of digging, usually to get my attention and I have noticed here wee wee smelling stronger over the last few days. Sometimes Holly stares at me and I am sure she is reading my mind, little monkey LOL!!

Home now and he never got spoiled as no surprise he wasn't a behaved bun.
He is chasing Jetfire all over the place and grunting at her, hasn't seemed to be nipping or scratching. What do I do?

Neutering doesn't always take away the urge to mate. Two of my neutered bucks, Mr Starbuck and Mr Toast O'Riley, both continued to mate their does for years after the op.. Usually they were most active from Feb. through to July when the local wild rabbits were most sexually active. Bun noses are very sensitive and they can smell another bun from a long way off, especially a "ready" doe. If he is getting the scent of an obliging wildie he could well react as he is doing. My bucks were both of the laid back dopey variety so never got overly stressed by the teasing scents ... they calmly mated with their doe and that was that, they didn't chase and grunt and act like potential rapists.
I think Soundwave's character may be a bit fierier than my bucks were and the teasing scents of spring might have a stronger effect on him.
Try an Adaptyl plug in.

Oh sweetie I am so sorry. I get the impression that Holly wants a man (don't we all lol) but she isn't being aggressive about it thankfully. I think that is great advice from Woodwench, try and calming plug in. Thank you for keep us updated.

I'd spray the general area where he and the other buns live. If he is reacting to scent it won't be his own.
