  1. Hi, I had 2 male rabbits before i bought them both at different times and one was older than the other my males did not get along the older rabbit was biting the younger one... but my rabits were not neutered... Male rabbits can go together without being neutered if they are from the same litter otherwise get both male rabbits neutered before having them share a house together as they are very territorial.


  2. Hi i havent done  that but i think it will be ok!!

    but if you are going to put two in it might be a good if you put then in in the day because they might get hurt a night and you will not be around . so if you put then in in the day you colud see hat they and then you can see how they get on.

  3. No this is not true... if u heard it from a person at a store then they were just trying to get u to buy another cage, anyone else probably wouldnt know

  4. i really have no experience with two male fighting rabbits.i once had two large-breed florida whites living on one cage.they went along realy well.they never even fought even once.they are un neutered.but this a rare behavior when it comes to rabbits.i guess i just got two weird rabbits!

    but normally,two un neutered male rabbits will fight for territory once placed in a single cage.rabbits tend to develop a sense of territorial behavior and they protect it.when rabbits are un neutered,they may fight to death...

    you may not be able to see it when they are young.they develop this fighting for territory sense as they mature and get older.soon enough you have to separate the two.

    i hope i helped!

  5. can be done,but both need to be castrated!!!we did have 4 together,no probs

  6. no not true i had a two males when i was little and  they where fine together

  7. It can be done.  I bought two baby rex brothers and they lived together very harmoniously.  I had them neutered with the intention of keeping hormone levels down which helps.  When the boys were about 12 weeks old i noticed them starting to pester each other and took them to vets asap.

    They had a very happy life together, both very loving towards each other and to us.  


  8. I have 2 male brothers, they were fine to start with then one started humping the other all the time which seemed to really stress the other one out (understandably!) so the vet recommended getting him neutered. Did this then the other one (who I guess then became the dominant one) started doing it too so got him neutered as well. They are fine now but it was quite expensive, probably just as cheap to buy another hutch.

  9. get them neutured as soon as their bits drop, get them done at the same time, and then they will be fine. dont wait until they start fightinhg as some bunnies never forget a fight x

  10. If you introduce them at an early age, they may be fine while they haven't hit their sexual maturity but after that separate them RIGHT away. I'd say at like 8-10 weeks or a little over but not much after that. They will eventually fight to see who's "boss" and will continue fighting after that which one may kill or injure severely the weaker one. Don't take a chance either, things could get ugly ;)

    They may not do it if you neuter them both but I'm not positive.
