Question
Hi,

My brothers rabbit and mine have recently been fighting, It's never been to bad, so we didn't bother to seperate them yet but w have been looking for another hutch because we found out they were both males. Well the fighting has gotten worse, we were wondering if there was a reason rabbits attack each others eyes? or is it just fighting, because he attack my bunnies eyes badish so yes, If you cant answer my question thats ok and thank you anyway.

Answer
hi tink- they fight because they think the other rabbit is invading its territory
bucks should be kept on there own they can be very vicious
they know the eyes are agood target so they attack them there.
they must be seperated at all times
