2 females (?) that are acting like males

22 10:45:44

Question
I have 2 female (or what I thought were female) dwarf bunnies that are 4 months old. The other day, one of them was mounting the other.... and today the other one was doing it too. Is it possible that female bunnies exhibit these male characteristics?

Answer
Hi Denise!

Its not just males that mount! It's a sign of dominance rather than mating.

Best thing to do is get them both checked out again as rabbits can breed at four months.

Rabbits mount each other to show who the boss is, your two sound like they are still sorting out who is going to be the boss

Hope this helps
