I had had rabbits my entire life, but sadly no more. I need help for my friend whose rabbits are going crazy. They are brothers, six years old and indoor rabbits. They have lived together their whole life and there had never been any problems. Six weeks ago, they started fighting. Not just playing, they really bit each other and were both hurt several times. We have no idea why they are doing this and we thought they'd stop, but it's six weeks now and we still can't put them together without a fight breaking out. We tried to get them together in the garden - fighting. Medicine doesn't help at all. We don't know what to do anymore. They've been good friends their entire life.
They are probably starting to feel like each other are invading on their territory. Rabbits go through a lot of temperamental changes in their life. They can completely change from sweet to aggressive, aggressive to sweet, territorial to non territorial, etc... The easiest and best solution is to separate them from each other. This way, there is no 'bloodloss'. You could still allow them to view each other, but still be separated.
