Hormonal sisters...

[TheTigerThief]

My girls have reached 4 months old and their hormones have clearly kicked in... Lately they've started to run around chasing and humping eachother. I know rabbit fights can get very nasty, but my girls never seem to fight for very long and still seem quite content to snuggle up to eachother afterwards. So, I was wondering if I should separate them now until they get spayed at 6 months, or to just leave them be for now? Any advice is appreciated.

Are they actually fighting or just chasing and humping? If they are fighting you will need to separate them. I would take them to the vets asap and get the vet to have a look at them, sometimes a rabbit savvy vet will spay earlier than 6 months depending on their weight, my girls were spayed at 5 months and I managed to keep them together.

I suppose just chasing and humping. I've been leaving them together and keeping an eye on them, they seem to have settled down a bit of the past couple of days. I will still contact my vet and ask him if he's willing to spay them younger. Thanks.
