Fighting male rabbits

Question
My two male rabbits want to fight to the death whenever I let them out together. What can I do?

Answer
Scott any male rabbits that aren't neutered can not be put out together.  They will always fight.  If you want them to bond together you will need them to get neutered.  There have been cases where females were successfully bonded but I have never had a pair of un-neutered males nor do I know anyone who has ever been successful with bonding un-neutered males.

It is way to dangerous to even let them play together.  One of them will end up seriously injured.

If you are interested in finding a vet to get them neutered you can look for a local vet at

on the left hand side you will see a link for vets.

The good thing in them being male is that it is a lot cheaper than getting females fixed.

Good luck and let me know if you need anymore help
