We do have another cage to separate them if we need to.. But, I've been reading a lot on rabbits and because they are littermates and have never been separated before, I am going to see how it goes.. So far there has been absolutely no agression towards each other and they definitely have their own unique personalities.. Bugs (bk/w) is more dominant, playful, and more tempted by treats (a carrot or slice of apple) whereas Roger (brn/w) is more standoffish, only takes treats if Bugz is eating it (like he's saying, "ok.. this really is safe for me to try!") and acts as if he really hasn't has human interaction.. I told my son to *make sure* he gives Roger the same amount of attention that he gives Bugs because we don't want a skittish bunny.. Sometimes if he takes Bugs out, I will take Roger out just to make sure he does get used to us and have some tlc also.. I know they are social animals and so far they seem to really compliment each other.. But, as I said, if we see *ANY* agression, we have a cage ready!

Thats good you have another cage. because there will come a time where they want to lay into each other. Two bucks together doing that is not pretty. I had one castrate another once when he jumped in the cage with him. Just saying that out of experience its best to err on the side of caution and give them their own space because even litter mates will fight.

If they are going to start fighting, what age would you say it's most likely to happen?

I have had them start figthing as early as 12 weeks. You are lucky yours aren't. Just be careful and keep a very close eye on them.

WOW!! 12 weeks?? Yeah, guess I am lucky at 7 months.. lol When the wind died down a bit today, we took them outside and put them in the little pen.. The only "aggressive" behavior I saw was Bugs mounting Roger consistently.. If I hadn't had checked myself, I would have thought they were male and female.. But, Roger didn't seem to mind at all and just kept right on munching the grass... lol

Yep my 4h meat pens used to do it at that age. Wasn't uncommon to see the three of them on top of each other. i Seperate most of mine at about 6-8 weeks.
