can i put two female rabbits in one cage?
will they fight each other when they are big enough coz now they're only 4 months old.
if the other one gets pregnant and have babies, will the other one harm her babies?(coz of jealousy or something??)
please and thank you!

Yes, you can usually keep two female rabbits in the same cage without trouble. There may be some fighting when they reach sexual maturity (usually between 3 and 6 months old for smaller breeds and between 6 and 8 months for larger breeds), but nothing serious, especially if you keep them together from the time that they're really little...they'll just grow up together. In my own breeding practice, I never keep a pregnant female in with anyone else from the time that she's about 14 days along. Rabbits that are pregnant get extremely territorial. It goes back to their wild ancestors who had to be territorial to make sure the young were safe. The other female probably wouldn't do too much as far as bothering the young, but the mama would go stir crazy because she would have to be on the constant alert, and might abandon the young for that reason. It's much better to keep a pregnant bunny in a cage by herself so that she can prepare the nest for the babies and can take care of them properly once they're born. Hope it helps, if you have any other questions, you can e-mail me directly at: kbviolin_98@yahoo.com

Two females in one cage will result in fighting when they get alittle oder. You should have the spayed they will be healthier and better pets and then you may be able to keep them in the same cage. If you do not have a male you are not going to get babies.
If one has babies you need to isolate her and the babies from any other rabbits as the other rabbit might kill the babies.

First you need to get your rabbits fixed. They are approaching puberty and they will begin to have some fights. Also you should get them spayed because unspayed females have a very high cancer rate. Plus they are just generally happier because they don't have hormones to bother them. Here are some articles.

Neither of you adult males have telephones consistently avaible so if he didnt come back to you impressive away its no longer that tragic. quiet down, i'm specific he has a sensible explaination, if no longer then you definately've a impressive to get upset yet dont get loopy. there is desire, there may be a sturdy reason. flippantly talk to him approximately it earlier accusing him or blaming him. enable him be attentive to which you have been rather aggravating and felt a finished loss of connection and have been perplexed.
