        I have 2 male 8 week old babies and the one has taken to humping the other and lays on top of him (looks like cuddling). Should I separate them already and reintroduce once they’re neutered or keep an we on it for now make sure it doesn’t become aggressive? He doesn’t do it non stop but a bit! Or just leave them together supervised only?

          Are you absolutely sure that they are both male? People have been told that their bunnies are the same gender, then they are surprised with a litter a couple of months later. Even vets sometimes have trouble sexing rabbits.  If they are starting to hump, that means the hormones are coming on and that can mean the possibility of fighting and injury. Could they be older than 8 weeks old? That seems a little early for the humping to start, but I haven’t had baby bunnies in a long time. In any case, since they have started humping, it probably is best to separate them. Keep their cages/pens near each other, then after they are neutered, and recuperated for a few weeks, you can start the bonding process.

            Seconding that you should separate them in case they are not both male. Ive been told before i had a female only to find “tumors” growing under “her” legs when she got older Its easy to sex young rabbits wrong because they look almost exactly the same. Its also good to separate them because hormones can make rabbits aggressive, and you dont want to wake up one day with fur on the floor and both rabbits badly hurt
