Why does my rabbit hate my other rabbit?

Question

ok so i got a female rabbit. she is a mix breed. and then chose to get another rabbit. so i got a mini rex female 6 months after i got the mix breed. my mix breed atacks the mini rex all the time. she bites and grunts at her. why is this? what can i do to make them happy together?

Answer 1

Probably because they are unspayed?

You also need to introduce them a certain way http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/intro...

Answer 2

puttin 2 female rabbits was a baaad idea!! they will fight and maybe even get hurt so u will have to seperate them and it may also be coz the mix breed was there first

but im serious, if u care for ur rabbits, seperate them otherwise the mini rex will most likely be the one to get hurt

Answer 3

One is an athiest, and the other is a Theist. Happens all the time on here..  why not in the rabbit kingdom.

Answer 4

The reason is they are the same s*x. Females are usually better about staying together than males but thats most likely why.

Answer 5

It's all about Territory - the first bunny was doing fine until this new cheeky little upstart arrived on the scene

;-)

Either that, or they support rival Football Teams

All The Best

Answer 6

you know how people dont always get along? well the same thing happens with animals. it could also have something to do with you putting 2 females together.

Answer 7

Females are more territorial than males, keep them side by side but separated. They may eventually get used to one another, with my bunnies it took about two months and they were sitting together next to the gate that separated them.  Once they are doing that put them together in a neutral area so they won't get territorial.
