We've got 2 young female rabbits, Clover and Honey, they're around 6 months old! Clover is constantly dominating Honey, who is a few weeks younger. Honey has started to squeak whenever Clover goes near her. I guess we have a bossy bunny!

Does anyone know what to do? I'm sure someone has rabbits. As a last resort my oh has suggested that we put Honey in the half of the shed that has two male guinea pigs, not ideal because the two animals shouldn't really mix.

You should split them up.

A friend of mine had the same problem and was told that if you don't seperate them they will fight until one is dead.

Thanks Chez,

That's a pain because up until a little while ago they were big pals. The young one will just have to get used to the pigs then. The big one has started nesting too! I wondered how much a rabbit neutering costs.

My friends Rabbits were exactly the same, but then one started to attack the other one all the time. My frined phoned a Rabbit specialist who told her to seperate them. I had to build them seperate hutches from then on.

Angie has 4 Rabbits and one of them is really aggressive and will fight with the other Rabbits at every opportunity.

We used to breed rabbits, no problems with the girls, but boys soon get aggressive and start neutering others.

The one in the picture above is female and is the aggressive one.

Two rabbits live in the back Garden and get on ok with each other.

There is a small English male Rabbit, which tries to be friendly with the others, but they then attack it.

I always said that we'd not have rabbits but thought it'd be better to get the furry pet thing done and dusted whilst they're young. They are very friendly and don't bite us, just nibble clothing. The cost of spaying is a bit steep at £70 a bunny, that is an option but both would need doing at the same time so that's a bit too pricey right now.

Stoday,

My girls will leave me if I did that. I just looked at them and they're cuddled up together.
