Exclamation Fighting male bunnies!!!

I have two very lovely male house rabbits called Bryn and Shaun. They are 4 and a half months old.
They have their own cage that they stay in and we let them out during the day.
Unfortunately they have recently started fighting which they don't stop doing unless separated.
We have tried to separate their cage but what else can be done? I understand that it is 5 months old until they can be neutered. What can we do till then?

Thanks

They can be neutered after their furry teabags have dropped, so I would pop them to the vets and then re-bond once the hormones have died down.

Re: Fighting male bunnies!!!

at 4 and a half months old their testicals will have dropped, so you need to find a rabbit savy vet whom you trust to neuter them

another issue could be your cage, how big is it? if the cage is too small (rabbits should have a minimum of 36sq ft at all times) then you will have problems, especially with intact bucks
