  I have a male and female Flemish giant rabbits named Ruby Tuesday and Amara. They have been neutered/spayed almost a month ago. They have always gotten along well since I had them. They are a week away from six months old. They have in the last week started to fight (I assume) as a few times in the morning I’ve seen their fur in different places in their cage. Should I separate them to give them some space, or is this normal?

  You should separate them and start aproper bonding process in a few weeks. A “baby bond” isnt a true bond, and rabbits often become extra hormonal (and thus belligerent) up until about 8 weeks after the spay neuter. If they get into serious fighting now, it could lead to them holding life-long grudges.

  Agree with Bam, I think separate for a few more weeks to make sure all remaining hormonal fluctuations are done, then you can follow the bonding process and reintroduce them.

  Thanks for the advice. I will separate them for awhile and hopefully it helps these siblings get back to loving each other again.

  Sounds like a good plan, hopefully they go back together easily once their hormones mellow out more!

  I sure hope so! Their hormones are being so difficult! Idk if it’s their breed or just them as individuals. Pray we survive!
