Question
I just found out today that i have one girl and 2 boy baby bunnies.  When do i have to separate them form each other.  i have seen both of the boys cuddling with the girl. They are all about 7 to 8 weeks of age and him afraid she might get pregnant around what age can they get pregnant so i know when to separate.

Answer
Hi Anna

Honestly its best to separate them by the time they are 10 weeks old.  They are still young and have not formed a life long bond yet.  Since boys can't live together unless they are neutered after sexual maturity they will need to be separated also.  I just feel its best to do it as soon as possible.  The stronger bond they develop the more anxiety they will have when you do separate them.

As for becoming pregnant it is possible at 12 weeks.  I always separate mine between 10 and 11 weeks at the absolute latest and have never had an accident.

Good luck with the babies.
