Question
me and my sister got 2 bucks and we put them in the same cage with a female rabbit the bigger buck always used to bully the smaller buck is it because there is a female rabbit in the cage. after a couple of days we noticed that the younger buck had scratches and his furr ripped out. we took the smaller buck out the cage and put him in the top with a small guinea pig now he seems to get on fine and is much happier. the other male rabbit is with the female rabbit and he keeps jumping on her back but i dont mind if she becomes pregnant coz i want them to have babies but was the fighting normal?

Well, I don't know a lot about rabbits, but it sounds as though you're doing the right thing.  Fighting between bucks is normal, especially when there is a female present.  Putting them separate was a good idea.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.  If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.  Good luck!
