How old are your fighting rabbits? Are they all living together? Despite what many people would think at first glance (after all rabbits are cute, gentle things, right?), rabbits are actually very territorial creatures. Even though they live in large burrow colonies in the wild, rabbits are not extremely social creatures. They interact, but prefer to be alone.

If your baby rabbits are older than 6 weeks or so and are still living with their mother, the fighting is probably a sign that they have been weaned and need to be separated. Mother rabbits are usually excellent mothers, but a time always comes when the mother will turn her babies away--that is just how nature works. Separating your rabbits will stop the fighting (if living together is the cause).

Separating means giving each rabbit its own cage/area, or housing rabbits that get along with eachother together. Young rabbits (under 5 months or so) may be able to live peacefully together until they fully mature.

They are about 6 months old. I have 1 living by herself with my chickens but the other 3 are together. I can separate them, though. A couple years ago I had to sisters.They lived together peacefully for almost 2 years, they even raised kids together. One day they just started ripping each others fur out so I had to separate them.
Thanks for the info. Really appriciate it.
Happy holidays!
