Yhey shouldn't be bred yet but that doesn't mean they can't/won't.

Do you want them to breed?

It is possible that they can breed at 4 months. Please, if they are mixed and not pedigreed I advise strongly against breeding. Also, your males should be seperated if they are not neutered-they are more likely to severely hurt eachother.

rabbits can breed at 4months... but i strongly disagree, if you wnat to breed, wait till 6/7 months.
the males together could fight when there older. if so separte the males later on at about 6months. same with the females

 

[DyemondRabbitry]

Depending on the breed or mix thereof, males may be mature now so fighting could get pretty vicious even at this age. They should probably be seperated ASAP

im not very experianced, but dyemond rabbitry is, so trust him/her.
so all rabbits should be on there own, separted

At four months I'm just scared since their little hormones are starting to kick in the bucks may really hurt eachother if they're both trying to be dominate.

Yes, the sensible thing to do is to keep them all separate until they have all been spayed and neutered.

what happen if the rabbit breed in 4 month?

The mother can die during birthing, and if they're brothers and sisters, you'll have a nest of trouble -- unhealthy, genetically unsound rabbits!

If you can get the type of wire panels you clamp or tie together to make cube shelving, or even chicken wire and wood and make something for them quickly, they REALLY need to be separated immediately.

There are a lot of links to caging ideas on here, I'll look for some.
