Maybe it's like dogs and it's trying to show domains over the other. Just separate them indoors!

When do you give baby rabbits water?

Baby rabbits will start drinking water when they start leaving their nest box and explore their environment. Generally, they will mimic Mom and drink a little water right away.


You have 2 pet rabbits and they are supposed to be both girl but the larger one of the two keeps trying to mount it could it be possible that it is a boy?

i have 2 pet rabbits and they are supposed to be both girls but the larger one of the two keeps trying to mount the smaller one could it be possible that it is a boy i have the exact same problem. at first i thought it was boredom, so i built a run in the garden but they still kept doing it. Now, the rabbit which we think is female seems to be leaving blood wherever she goes to the toilet. Do you think she is pregnant?


Do girl rabbits mount on boys?

Yes, it's not uncommon for a female rabbit to hump a male, or even another female. This behaviour is part of establishing dominance and sometimes the female is the top rabbit. Once the rabbits become accustomed to each other, this behaviour should eventually stop.


Will a female rabbit try to mate another female rabbit?

Yes, they will try to mate with each other. They are signaling to a buck that they are ready to breed. They are not actually trying to breed. BUT every rabbit should have it's own cage so how is this happening? Another opinion: Rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount another rabbit as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always a sexual behaviour. One female mounting another is trying to assert dominance. Keep an eye on your bunnies and separate them if it turns to fighting. Rabbits can be kept in the same cage if they're bonded. Usually this means the rabbits must be neutered/spayed - but, in some cases, when they've been raised together, female rabbits can be kept together even when they aren't spayed, and they won't fight. When rabbits are bonded, that means they don't fight and are affectionate. The bonding process can take anywhere from a couple weeks, to many months of patience and hard work.
