my female dwarf bunnies are fighting

Question
I have two female dwarf bunnies and one male.  They are 5 months old and live in the same cage.  Just yesterday I noticed there were 6 baby bunnies in the cage.  I am not sure which one is the Mother since I didn't realize either one was pregnant. I thought maybe the one sitting by them today and licking them could be the mom but all of a sudden this evening the two females are chasing each other and stomping. When one goes near the babies the other chases them away and visa versa. I am afraid the babies are going to get hurt since they have trampled them a few times.  I am afraid to separate them in fear that I am taking the real mommy away and the babies will starve.  Please help what can I do.

Answer
Hi Maria,

Take the male out is a start, unless he already lives on his own.

The babies should be fine, although theres a good chance that they won't survive if the females are fighting between themselves.

Once that babies have grown up the best thing you can do is take them all the vet (the adults) and have them neutered that way they'll all be able to live together without the risk of babies

Hope this helps, let me know how you get  on
