Hi, i have two baby bunnies from the same litter that are males if they grow up together will they fight if not fixed or continue getting along.

They will likely fight.

There are no guarantees that any rabbits will get along. While young rabbits may get along, that can change drastically once they reach maturity around 4-6 months old. Some may continue to get along after that point, but it is rare especially if they are left intact. Even if neutered, they is still a chance they will get along, males can be iffy when it comes to bonding with other males.

You will have to separate them. This should be done before they get a chance to fight, so best do it before 4 months of age. If you notice issues before then, take it as a good time to separate them then. Males can usually be neutered once the testicles descend around 4-5 months. After they have been given a chance to heal and have the hormones calm down (4-6 weeks after being neutered), you can try bonding them back together.

Thanks, but it turns out one of the males might be a female. What age do they have to be fixed.

And when do i have to seperate them so she won't get pregnant

as soon as possible would be good. All of our hutches are two inches apart so the rabbits can see each other but aren't close enough to bite or fight. We let them out one at a time to exercise. Neutering as soon as you can is the best bet to head off all kinds of problems. Usually around 4 to 6 months.

They can get pregnant by 10-12 weeks, so I'd separate ASAP. The male can be neutered as soon as his testes have dropped, as early as 12 weeks. The female will have to wait longer, usually around 6 months.

howdy--,well,my liter of males were raised together because i had no problems with the young females,same lirer-etc.etc.--as these critters mature things change,--at about 5 months one male attacked his brother and tore open/off- his testicles-requiring immediate surgery-neutering and antibiotics,and a modest$1000.00 retainer,,-as the females got older they tended to get more territorial--unfortunately i found one dead from a fight..-iultimately seperated all males and one female from the herd---i still bear the burden of this horror--i hope this helps,,--sincerely james waller:?:shock:
