Why are your two female rabbits fighting?

Answer 1

Does (female rabbits) will mount each other as a sign that they are ready to breed. Males will also mount each other in their puberty age as a way of establishing dominance.

Rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount another rabbit as a show of dominance. One female mounting another is trying to assert dominance. Keep an eye on your bunnies and separate them if it turns to fighting.

Rabbits can be kept in the same cage if they're bonded. Usually this means the rabbits must be neutered/spayed - but, in some cases, when they've been raised together, female rabbits can be kept together even when they aren't spayed, and they won't fight. When rabbits are bonded, that means they don't fight and are affectionate. The bonding process can take anywhere from a couple weeks, to many months of patience and hard work.

Answer 2

Fighting is what two rabbits in captivity (including pets) usually do when they're not "bonded." Rabbits shouldn't be housed together if they aren't bonded, and they shouldn't be allowed together at all if they fight. Never let rabbits fight: not only is it traumatic (and traumatized animals don't make good pets), but even the tiniest cut can lead to a huge abscess.

Answer 3

It can be many reasons. The most common is that the male has invaded the female's territory and she wants him OUT.

Answer 4

This is the natural reaction of a 'first timer' doe. If she runs, it doesn't mean that the breeding attempt was unsuccessful, not necessarily.

Answer 5

What do you consider a baby rabbit?? A 3 to 4 month old rabbit is no longer a baby but is more like an old teenager, and, as we know, teenagers can breed and reproduce.

Answer 6

Usually, the female will mount the male if the male is put into her cage for mating instead of her being placed in his cage. Sometimes it is just that the female is particularly aggressive.

Answer 7

Yes, it's most likely a dominance thing between the two females.

Answer 8

cause it just does
