  Our two girl (sister) bunnies have gotten along so well since we got them until this week.
  They’re 4 months and viciously attack each other when we feed them. They’re absolutely fine the rest of the time, running around doing binkies. But as soon as pellets go into the cage they turn on each other.
  
  We’ve separated them for now as we had to feed them and go to work. But is it just that they need to be spayed? Will that help??

  Spaying will likely help. From 3 months of age, usually 4-6 months of age rabbits start to get hormonal which can lead to all sorts of behavioural changes. Rabbits generally can’t be considered bonded until they are both spayed or neutered as well. I would certainly get them both spayed, you may need to separate them and reintroduce them 6 weeks after spaying. At the very least, I would keep them apart at feeding times.

  You need to properly bond them.
  
  If they’ve viciously attacked one another, they should be seperated and out of each other’s sight for a while before you start pre bonding.
