  I recently got a new rabbit, named coco, shes the same breed, and both my rabbits are female
  Atleast i think coco is a girl, ive looked, and her genitilia is leaf shaped, but theres a little bump that doesnt look like a penis, but my other rabbit bonbon has the leaf shape, but no little dot, so i don’t know.
  
  BUT ANYWAY, whenever they play together, FUR FALLS OUT EVERYWHERE.
  ITS REALLY WORRYING.
  CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT?

  Are they both spayed? Did you go through the bonding process? Are you watching them when they play together? My only thought is that one of them is pulling out the other ones fur. Or if one bunny is a boy and the other one is pregnant and building a nest

  They are too young to be fertile. Both only 4 months. And they hit it off, we did bond them
  But from the get go they were chinning, and being lovey with eachother.
  From whwt ive seen, both are girls.

  If two bunnies aren’t spayed then they aren’t actually bonded. They will become hormonal and fight causing serious injuries. I would recommend finding a rabbit savvy vet near you and getting an appointment to have them both spayed. Are you watching them when they play together?

  They are not bonded. Baby bunnies don’t bond. They need to be completely separate until after they have both been spayed or neutered. They are not too young to be fertile. Some does can become pregnant at 3 months old. Hormones are at play, and that’s dangerous. If both are chinning, they are able to get pregnant/impregnante a doe. Hormones can also make them aggressive. One of them could be aggressive when you’re not there. Hormones make it so bunnies only want to breed and fight. They will not be truly bonded until they have been spayed.

  What do you mean fur falls out when they play together? It sounds like they’re fighting and pulling each others fur. Bunnies don’t play together in the way that dogs play together, they tend to just hang out and move around together. There’s no play fighting or tumbling around. It sounds like they’re fighting for real. You need to separate them until they’re old enough to be spayed and neutered. 4 months is not too young to be fertile.

  You said both of their genitals look different so possibly one is female, one is male.
  
  Please do some research. You cannot bond babies and 4 months old is not too young to be fertile. Your female could already be pregnant.
  
  Do you watch them ‘play’ together? Bunnies don’t pull fur to play.

  Rabbits dont play like dogs do. If rabbits are chasing, biting, fur pulling, kicking, punching, ect, they are trying to kill one another. It is not play for rabbits.
  
  Four months is not too young to be hormonal. They are not bonded.
