  Because its the 4th of July weekend, we have have some family at our house. Normally we have NO ONE here except My Mom and Dad and me. Mocha does not like strangers very well and will normally lounge at them if they try to pet him, but he has been doing really well recently. That is until this morning. When I came down from my room this morning and he was extremely grumpy and was lounging at me. Normally he puts his paws on the edge of the cage begging for treats ( it’s adorable). I just brushed it off because I knew there was company here. Then my cousin was in my room and he lounged and bared his teeth at him, hitting him in the head. He said it hurt. After that I just told people not to bug the rabbits anymore and I left them alone for a few hours.
  
  Just now, my Dad and me were in my room petting Lulu, when I walked past the treat cupboard, Lulu blew up! She started Boxing Mocha’s face, growling, lounging, and fighting! Fur flew! They normally growl or box each other a few times when they get excited, but this is different! I gave them some treats and Lulu continued to lounge at me, my dad, and Mocha every time we moved.
  
  Is this just stress from all the noise and strange people? Normally it’s just Mocha who’s effected but this is Lulu who’s causing the fights!

  It definitely sounds like it could be.
  Are you able to shut the room off completely? Or move M&L into one of their old habitats temporarily?

  Yes I am able to shut my room, which I did most of the day. They seemed ok today and were snuggling together. They just get so upset around “certain” people.

  Definitely keep “certain” people away from then, for sure.
