Have they been checked by a vet? Bunnies will turn on a poorly bun, so can be a sign somethings wrong with one of them. Had anyone touched another rabbit that day? Any smells of other buns can also set them off.

Re: Fighting bunnies

They hadn't been checked by a vet and seemed nice and healthy, they were checked after and other then their injuries from fighting they were healthy. No one had touched another bunny, my brother and his family let them out in their run as usual, went out for the day and came back to carnage. There was no little fights beforehand or anything, it just seemed to happen out of the blue. One of the bunnies has passed away now due to other reasons so not thinking about them bonding again, am just curious as to whether anyone has experienced similiar or has an explanation.

Why has one of the buns died now? There is always a reason for them to fight.

Re: Fighting bunnies

Quite a few months after they were seperated one of them was scared by a dog whwn she was asleep, she jumped up and ran but ran really hard in to her run fence.... it paralysed her back legs (although a vet checked her and said nothing was broken). After a while her back legs were wasting away and she couldn't move so was soiling herself and had no quality of life so my brother had her put to sleep :@(. She didn't seem ill before this so don't think its linked.
