rabbits normally only fight when another rabbit or animal is trying to take its food or even its home. it also depends whether or not the rabbit is a pet or not, because if it is not a pet, it is obviously raised differently than if it was. Any rabbit, any sex, any relation and NOT altered will eventually fight as they are very territorial and they fight to establish dominance and to drive the other rabbit away.

Mature (sexually) rabbits of the same gender will fight because their instinct is to ensure they get to mate, even if they have to kill off their rivals to do it. Rabbits of the same sex should be housed separately although, sometimes, they're OK in the same enclosure if they've been neutered.

One rabbit may be showing that he is leader over the other, or they could be one boy one girl.

Why do our boy rabbits try to mate with each other They are quite aggressive with each other and one is losing hair on his head?

Male rabbits can be vicious with each other even if they are related. They can fight for food and for attention. Male rabbits can also be dominent exspecially if you had on of them before the other then they would feel like the other rabbit was in its space. If they continue fighting and harming each other then you should separate them


Can rabbits be in the same cage together if they were grown up together be truthful because people say they can?

Some can, Some can't. It all depends. Usually a male and female can get along, but they will be multiplying and making little rabbits. 2 Males on the otherhand don't usually get along. They will fight with each other on some occasions and try to claim dominance. I have had this problem with my two male rabbits and we had to have them seperated.


How do rabbits worn each other about danger?

Rabbits will warn nearby rabbits of danger by thumping their back feet. They will do this when they feel threatened and scared or notice something unusual.


How does a rabbit react when it sees another rabbit?

Rabbits are social animals and enjoy company! But, like humans, some rabbits just don't get along: always take special precautions when introducing new rabbits. Rabbits happy and curious about each other will go up to each other and sniff on the new rabbit and around them. Rabbits are very alert. If pet rabbits aren't neutered/spayed, they will likely greet each other by fighting (scratching at one another, or worse, disembowling each other), or mating. Don't ever let rabbits fight: even a small cut, one invisible to the human eye, can turn into a serious problem (infection, abscess, etc.). It's not advised to let rabbits mate: caring for pregnant/nursing rabbits requires specialty care, and what will you do with the rabbits? There are rabbits in shelters awaiting adoption right now: don't add to the problem. See the related question below for more info and helpful links.

The male rabbits will probably fight and possibly kill each other. They quite possibly will neuter each other. No rabbits should be caged together.

The female WILL also get tired of being bugged by males and can turn on them and fight the male also sometimes castrating (or neutering) the males which is why you should watch your rabbits when you are attempting to breed them.

Why does a boy rabbit keep trying to mate his brother?

Rabbits of both sexes mount each other as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always sexual. Dominance can turn into aggression, especially if one or both males aren't neutered, so you might want to separate the rabbits as a precaution. Definitely separate them if they're fighting: see the related question below for details and links.

Will 2 male bunnies fight?

It all depends on the rabbits. Usually if you introduce them to each other properly there will only be a small bit of fighting at the very beginning. However all bunnies are different so it may be best to keep them separated or just stick with one rabbit.
