How old are they, and are they spayed? Are they being agressive towards each other?

It sounds like hormonal behaviour as does can become very broody. Spaying will calm down the hormones.

I agree with Tonibun, I had 2 girls (sisters) who got very hormonal at about 4 months chasing, humping, fur pulling, but spaying sorted them out. Plus if you have them spayed it will eliminate womb cancer which kills 80% of does

That's great, thank. Just wondering if you know roughly how much it would cost for both of them? Cheers!!

All Vets set their own prices so you would need to ask the specific surgery you use. As a very rough guide prices can range from £80.00 to £150.00 for a spay.

Are you sure they are both girls?
