Ive got 8 baby rabbits that are 6 weeks old (today) and i have seen twice today them mounting each other, i hope this is just to dominant, and not mating. What age are they sexually mature? I want to take them to the vets to find out what sex they are but one will do them at 6 weeks but wants £20 the other will do it for free but not till they are 8 weeks old. :?

Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Your babys are still too young they are just trying it out, the males will not be able to mate untill there testicals drop whitch is usualy at three months , although its highly unlikely that they will be fertile untill about 4to 5 mths. val
