7.5 Week Kits Mounting Each Other?

[Samara]

So Molly started mounting her 3 kits recently, so we separated her in a new enclosure.

Right now I have the babies out tooling around for free time and they are mounting each other.

I only have 1 confirmed home so far with a pick up of next week.

What should I do? Is it just a dominance/hierarchy thing? Or are they actually attempting to breed?

Mom is a lionlop and Dad is an English Lop - so they are going to be on the larger size. They're already about as big as Molly right now.

2 are bucks 1 is a doe. It's only the 2 bucks mounting each other. The doe hasn't been touched.

GAHHHHH!

:?

I have had litters do that! It just seems to pass. Its pretty funny to see 4-5 week old lionheads who are under 1 pound doing this!

If in another month or so, you still have a buck & a doe, you could move the doe in with her mom.

Right now it's dominance, but in a month it could be for the other thing. Good luck with placement.

Yeaaaa they probably saw mom doing it lol. Poor little ones. I would separate sexes and watch the boys for signs of fighting
