Oh God My Rabbits Are...

[oreyo]

ok my rabbits will turn 5 monthes tomarrow but iv been noticing since 2 days ago that oreyo has been following caramela and trying to get on top of her ( mount her) both are females and both from the same litter they were born in my house with other 5 rabbits but i sold the parents and the other 3 and kept these 2. but anyways i think their trying to show whos the boss ( dominate one) caramela has always kinda been the boss they have never mounted each other before but 2day caramela mounted oreyo for the first time. she did it from the front. should i be worried will this cause them to fight??? i cant get them neutered now but i will like in a couple of monthes when i get a car and im starting to save for it now but im worried that they will fight and then ill have to give them away but every time oreyo follows caramels for like 30 seconds then he stops and goes up to her and starts to groom her head and sleep next to her as nothing happened and then she grooms him and sleeps next to him and then like after a couple of hours he'll do the same thing........ is this normal for their age?

are you sure they are both girls? You also referred to "he" in your post. If one of them is a he then you will have more babies

females will do this too its for dominance
i had 7 bunnies and the mum was always dominating her girls and boys,the boys were nuterd. but you can mix up their sex when they are young as i have lol.maybe you should double check them.
good luck

ya will im not 100% sure that their girls but i read that by now if they are males they would get their testicals and i checked and none of them have it and if they were male and female they would'v had babies by now... idk but all icar about right now is that they dont fight and me haveing to seperate them or even give them away

ya i always referd oreyo as a he for some reason i think cuz he looks exactly like his father and uncle ( father's brother) and both were males so now every time i see a black and white dutch i keep thinking its a male... but i think my oreyo is a female??

I'm sure the hormones are starting to kick in. My female did that as well. She was always the one mounting...neutered Lucky did not appreciate it one bit. He got very annoyed when she did that. She too would also go back with her head down like she was apologizing but a minute later would try again. I would watch this behavior because a fight could follow. I don't think the behavior will die off...it will just get more aggressive.
