My two female rabbits are fighting and one is humping the other. Why?

Question

Hi There, We got 2 bunnies that are meant to be both girls...about 2-3 months old. We keep them in an indoor cage and give them about 2 hours a day out of the cage. One is very calm by nature the other is more feisty by nature and more nervous. The later has started trying to have sex with the her sisters face and today they had two big fights which I had to separate. I think aggravated more by the smaller feisty rabbit. They are sisters. I’m worried they will hurt each other extensively. Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 1.5 lbs

Thanks for reaching out. Not all individuals get along, especially in confined areas. As young rabbits mature and hormone levels rise, territoriality and dominance are fought over to establish. Spaying the rabbits is necessary anyways, so now might be a good time. Keep separated for now. Good luck.
