rabbit mounting and aggresive behavior

22 11:06:53

Question
I have 2 female mini lop ear rabbits. The smaller one is constantly mounting the bigger one. She also has been urinating on her. She is aggressive and she bites us and the other rabbit. I'm pretty sure it is a dominance thing. Is there anyway we can stop this behavior? Would it help if we put them in separate cages?

Answer
Hi Alison,
it would help for sure to seperate the cages..put them beside eachother,you also can have the aggressive female spayed. This would help with the dominance and aggression,and you would be able to keep them together again.
 Good luck,Elizabeth
