  We recently got two rabbits from an orchard that had been kept together in the same hutch with three other siblings. Pretty much instantly after we got them home one started chasing and nipping the other. They have a big hutch and one part is wire, the other enclosed. Its very clearly a territory thing since Truffles (the biter) wants Bunnicula (the bites) to stay in the enclosed area. Its gotten bad enough that Bunnicula has some.missing fur and wounds. What I don’t understand is this: they do this, and then other times they’re both happily laying in the same part of the cage like nothing happened. Truffles will lick Bunnicula, and they can eat at the same time, no issue. I have been taking Truffles out and letting Bunnicula get her scent all over the other part of the cage. I don’t know what to do. Having to give one away would kill.me but I don’t want Bunnicula getting hurt. I just don’t know if they’ll get better or not or what to do.

  Do you know how old they are? Are they fixed? How big is the hutch?

  I’m not positive how old they are, young – the orchard got them as babies not more than 5-6 months ago. they’re both females, not fixed. Siblings, hutch is pretty big, not sure of actual dimensions but several feet square. They were in the same size with 3 other ones on the farm.

  Im hesitant to separate them since they seem to periodically get along. Right now they’re laying side by side quietly. I’m afraid if I split them up reintroducing them will only make it worse.
