I am moving this to the Rabbitry section as it seems like it may be a question for people who have experience breeding rabbits. I will post my reply in the thread in the Infirmary.

Don't give any injections yet if you don't know what's wrong.

Find out the source of the blood. Look everyone over thoroughly. Are they still living with Mom? Check her over as well if they are.

Could the blood be comming out with urine, droppings, or vomit?

Its most probably red urine.
Red colour of the urine is sometimes observed in rabbits. It is probably caused by a plant pigment but does not effect the health of the rabbit.

The House rabbit society has lots of info on this, heres the link to the page.

and at 10 weeks, I would seperate. That way if problems arise, its easier to figure out from who.

Are you sure it came from the rabbits at all? Is the blood you are seeing on the ground under their cage? Hopefully it is from something else completely, one of my cats ate a mouse on my barn floor once and gave me a scare like that.

Are you sure it's blood? It's quite common for rabbits to have bright red urine, especially in colder temperatures.
