Hi there,

Me and my girlfriend adopted 2 twin female mini rex bunnies. Their names are Lily and Lola. They are about to be 3 months old. We had them for 2 weeks now. They have lived with each other their whole lives. They get along with each other most of the time. They are always laying next to each other and cleaning each other. I first started seeing them fighting last week but that was the only time. I set up a livestream of them for when we are not home so we can watch them. I have footage of Lola humping Lily twice. Should we be concerned? Do we need to separate them?








Thank you,
John

3 months old is a typical time when hormones start raging in some young/teen bunnies. They are most likely trying to see which one of them will be the more dominant one of the pair.

I would separate them for now so no one gets possibly injured.

are they neutered/spayed yet?
 
No they are not spayed yet. I read online that 6 months is the best time to spay them.
Some vets will spay them at 4 months old. Maybe look into a rabbit savvy vet if you don’t have one already and see what they feel most comfortable doing.

I would not let them be together unless it’s supervised playtime to kinda keep them separate and prevent them from humping/injuring each other.

I’m sure after each of them have been spayed it will prevent them from such behavior.
