siblings fighting

[Jessie21]

Woke up in the night with Bean attacking Belle there was Belle fluff everywhere. They are both 12 weeks and due to get neutored, is this normal? Neither of them were bleeding. Bean is now in the cage and Belle in the run, Bean won't let me touch him, Belle lets me but she is terrified every time i open the cage to feed Bean. What should i do with them? Obviously keep them separate untill they're neutored but any other tips? Bean won't let me check him for injuries but he's not limping or making any noises. He is just sitting there looking really distant though Belle made a scream when they were fighting sounded horrible They usually love each other so much they are never far away from each other.

This is very normal when hormones develop. I would be wanting to check both bunnies genitals (including boys penis's) and I would also be wondering if both are boys.

A vet trip is needed really if you can't check yourself but I have no idea what the vets are like over there.

Thank you, Belle is definitely a girl but why check Bean's genitals?

When Rabbits fight they often bite the other Rabbit's genitals and they can cause serious injuries. You really do need to check that this has not occurred.

I would not be at all surprised to find that you actually have 2 Bucks........................

Thankyou for your advice i have had a look nothing looks sore anything any they look different but there is something that pops out of Belle's genitals.. although i've read that this can still happen with a female. I really don't have a clue what i'm looking for to be honest! Bean is plain and clear he's a boy haha

Pops out like a penis? Young bunny boys can look a lot like girls until they drop.

I mistook Chris for a girl until he was mature.
(I used to call him Chloe):lol:

Yeah a bit pops out it's not like bean's bits. Can something pop out of the girl's?

I am not sure what you mean so I found this video. I thought it might help. It is very graphic.
