  Not all bonded siblings will fight. There really isn’t any magic age when it could happen either but usually they reach maturity around 6 months. If they are getting along keep them together. You wouldn’t want to separate them just because you think they could fight and since they are the same sex I wouldn’t.
  
  We have many sibling pairs at our sanctuary and they’ve been together since birth with no scuffles. Some are male/male and some male/female. We have lots of female/female too that came in as adults from one of our big rescues that I suspect were siblings as well.

  I agree with Sarita and most vets wait a bit longer to spay the females, around 6 months old.

  When you do bring them into get spayed, I think that will be a bit of a risk to their bond, so make sure to bring them to the vet at the same time, and allow them to recuperate in cages side by side to try not to disturb the bond. When you re-introduce the girls after they are spayed, do so under supervision to make sure that there are no issues between the two of them that need to be worked out.
