We introduced a 8 week old female to a 10 week old female and the 10 week old female attacked her. What should we do that will stop them from fighting. Im a very scrwmish person and when they started fighting it scared the hell out of me and upset me.

First of all- the easiest way and safest way to introduce rabbits is when they are altered (meaning spayed or neutered)2nd, make sure you are doing it in a place both bunnies have never been before. 3rd, go to this website to learn more. http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/bond.shtml I hope this helps! Goodluck! :)

It might be best to wait until they are old enough to spay and then work at bonding them. It often takes a good deal of time, much 'dating' to help them adjust to living with another rabbit, especially if they aren't spayed or neutered. Rabbits are naturally territorial and as they get older and more sexually mature, they often fight, even close litter mates or rabbits they were friendly to when they were younger. Once they are spayed then you can bond them. Here are a couple of sites with good info on doing that. http://www.indianahrs.org/care-introducing-rabbits.aspx http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-9/bonding.html
