Even if th fighting wasn't caused by hormones - if you have already separated it will be a lot harder to rebond unless the girls are spayed.
Does have an 80% risk of getting cancer too, if not spayed, & this is from 2-3 year old up. If there has been any major behaviour changes, that could be a symptom. I would get your girls spayed ASAP, wait for them to recover, then rebond on neutral terrtory
hi and thank you.i will get them to the vets tomorrow.they have only been seperated for about an hour so far so i hope they are ok when they meet again.they have the run of the garden so i guess they are use to not seeing each other for a while.they have been to vets several times for jabs etc i wish she had advised me earlier.anyway thanks for your help.
My two bunnies are sisters and as soon as they reached maturity they started to irk one another. This lead to lots of stamping, fur pulling and general stroppiness but its something that spaying helped with. Like Angie mentioned though, the health aspects are a major reason to spay a doe but it helps greatly with bonding issues too.
