I've two female res's, both of good size, and one male slightly smaller. He's mated with the bigger female and is now attacking and biting the other. Can anyone explain this behavior?

I wonder what I should do. So far no injuries. The male had never done this before and I've had them all together for over a year. There's no way, too, that I can separate them at the moment, seeing I'm trying to hibernate them outside.

Next Spring I might take more drastic measures.
