  I have 2 male brother rabbits they’ll be 7 months old soon and today I went down to feed them and I turned my back and heard a sqeual to find one biting the other and he has since then been harassing him and chunks of hair were everywhere. They’re are not neutered but will be soon. I’m not sure if it’s a dominance thing and idk what to do I Separated them before I left for work. Will I be able to bond them again? Will neutering help?

  To make this better, you need to seperate them for a month or two, make them forget about this. Neutering can help. before you bond any bunny, you need to have them neuterred.

  You need to keep your rabbits separated until both have been neutered, and a month has passed since their surgeries. Then you can start the bonding process. Rabbits can severely injure each other when they fight. Intact males of that age should not be together. Did you check the rabbit that got bitten, to make sure that he didn’t have a wound that needs attention?

  They can be kept in the same room. Just make sure that they can’t nip each other through the cage bars. Assuming that you are letting them out for exercise, they will have to take turns doing that, and that’s when you have to be careful that they aren’t fighting through the bars. You may have to put a barrier around the cage of the rabbit who is caged at the time, when the other one is out.
