Why are my young rabbits jumping and piling on each other? Is it normal?
If the rabbits are unfamiliar with one another, the larger ones are very likely to try and dominate the smaller ones. Yes, there may be some sexual dominance taking place but I assure you if the ages you stated are correct they are not capable of breeding yet. If they are small breed rabbits, they usually are not capable of breeding until at least months, with larger breed rabbits closer to 7-8 months. If you are noting any aggression, I would remove the older ones from the younger ones as to avoid any injuries or deaths from occurring. I know, rabbit fighting sounds a little ridiculous, but I have seen rabbit injuries from fights. They usually aren't deadly or anything, but can require veterinary care.
