when i was young i raised new zealands for show, i had about 6 in one large cage. i do not remember them ever fighting and they were all males. We recently purchased two baby male mini lops as pets. now i am concerned that they wont be able to stay together. i have been reading online that they should be separated because they will fight. is this true? even if they are litter mates?
k. appell
I never had 2 males. Just a male and female. Did you ask a vet? I would think they'd have an easier time living together if they were neutered.
Yes, they will fight. Rabbits are very territorial no matter if they are both bucks or both does. I can't speak for rabbits that are neutered/ spayed as we raise and show ours.
But, in the past if we left the same sex littermates together a little too long they would start fighting.

Hope this helps you out.

Good Luck,
Pat
