        I have four rabbits, last year I bought 2 who were both ment to be girls from different litters and I was going to bond them. Long story short one was a boy and I ended up with babies. I kept two of the babies (tiger and snow) and they took to each other really well, no humping or anything and they were in the a 3 story cage with their mum. When we had tiger and snow sexed we got told they were both boys so before they reached an age where they would hump we separated their mum from them (she is sprayed and the dad has been castrated and I put thoses together). It didn’t take long though before tiger was humping snow. My initial thoughts were that snow must be a girl so I tried putting her in a run with her mother (all their runs are side by side so all their sents are farmiliar) and immediately Bunny (the mother) was sniffing at the underside of snows stomach. Is this an indication of pregnancy..? And if so can I put snow and bunny together or will they become vicious? But also my friend who is a rabbit breeder said that tiger might be humping snow to show dominance? Any thoughts, thankyou.

          Are the younger buns neutered yet? If not they cannot live together even if they are in fact the same sex because they will fight. If you put one of the unnutered young buns in with the spayed mum chances are they will attack the mum I am afraid. Buns do hump to establish dominance but in unneutered pairs it quickly leads to fighting

            Unless they are very young bunnies, unneutered and unspayed rabbits should not be kept together, even if they are the same gender. When rabbits reach around 12 weeks of age, they may or will soon begin entering puberty. With all the hormones that brings, they can become territorial and aggressive. That can lead to fighting and severe injuries. You need to get Snow and Tiger neutered, then after a month or so you can rebond them. If there is a possibility that Snow is a female and you just recently saw the humping, she could have an emergency spay in case she is pregnant. The main thing now is to keep any unneutered or unspayed rabbits apart from any other rabbits. Even if one of the rabbits has been desexed, there will still be problems if one is still intact.

              Thanks I’ve separate them for now, I was told that they would be fine as they are from the same litter so they know each other and won’t fight. I’ll look into getting them both done

                That’s a good plan. Being from the same litter or being a parent with an offspring doesn’t prevent aggression or fighting. You can keep Snow and Tiger in the same room, but not in the same cage and they can’t be out exercising together either, until after their surgeries and recuperation.
