[lstein76]

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Just keep them separated. They are very young (one month is way too early to be away from mom). Once they are older you can get them fixed and bond them together. For now, the 2.5 month old may be a bit hormonal.

Also, even breeders make mistakes in the gender of small babies, so keeping them separated from the beginning will prevent unwanted litters.

That lady sold the bunny far too early. Most bunnies die. I recommend you taking your bunny to the vet. My vet had me feed my bunny (which was also sold too early) critical care with a mashed up poo from a healthy adult rabbit for several days, 3 times a day. The purpose was to give her healthy flora that she would only have gotten through her mother's milk. Although she was eating and lively, it was still highly recommended for her long-term health.

That lady has no idea what she is talking about, or does but doesn't care. I wouldn't recommend getting bunnies from her again.

First of all, that bunny should be nowhere else other than with his mum. That's really sad. I feel for the lil guy. I hope he will not suffer any major GI issues from being taken from her so early.

Second of all, two males together is risky business. They may be ok for now or even a few weeks but after that, watch out! More than likely, hormones will kick in and they will fight. My neighbor got two baby boys for his kids, brothers even. Poor lil Bobbie needed 20 stitches and nearly didn't make it. That's how dangerous it could be. That's a pretty extreme fight but it's not uncommon for bunnies to get serious injuries from fights.

Third of all,it would have been wiser for her to suggest keeping them separate for a bit at least for quarantine purposes.

I feel that breeder was reckless and only had a sale in mind. Anyone breeding rabbits should know these things :expressionless
