Time for each of your Does to have their own cage!
Rabbits especially Does can become extremely territorial.
Leavingf them together in the same cage could lead to
a bloody battle and perhaps DEATH of one or both rabbits.
I would separate them NOW!

girls can be funny. Some will be fine together for ages, and others hit about 3-4 months and you need to separate them. I keep them together as long as I can but as soon as I see chasing I divide up someone. I don't want them hurting each other.
I agree with the others. You need to separate them and give each her own cage. Sometimes sisters can live together for quite a long time... Other times, one is too aggressive.
If you are having trouble catching them, throw a blanket or towel over one and then scoop it up. Or if it's really bad, use two towels. They need to be separated permanently right away.
