  1. The females need spaying more than the males (to the person that said the opposite!) because they are at a very high risk of death by cancer if left intact...80% chance by age six, and many are already cancerous by age 2-rabbits should live well into their teen years...if you act responsibly towards them by getting good vet care and giving them an important place in your home and life.

    I am not sure what you mean by "act like....?" are you talking about mounting? Some rabbits continue to do this for reasons other than s*x; it is often a show of excitement. (some people think it is simple dominance, but that sells rabbits short on intelligence: they are not so concerned about dominance as people are!) It is very hard to bond rabbits, more difficult than any other species I have worked with. All my animals are spayed or neutered; even so, it is hard to get a pair that will not fight. Even siblings can turn against each other, and even when they are altered. it is not possible to predict the outcome.

  2. I usually just have the males nuetered, that's all you really need.  They act like buddies, and will do everything together, including cuddle when they sleep.  I had a pair that lived like this, and you couldn't hold one without the other
