Male rabbits getting along?

Question

I have a male bunny and my mom wanted to get a baby male bunny from the pet store, buttt she's scared that if we get it my rabbit will fight with it and "spray" all over the house. I was thinking that I just bring my rabbit to the pet store and see if they get along. Will that work or do I haveee to get him fixed?

Answer 1

I am currently going through this, as I rescued an all white blue eyed rabbit, male. Both rabbits are male for sure, but currently housed seperatly. From everything ive been reading, nuetering is the only way to go, both rabbits, to ensure their safety, your sanity and so forth. Do NOT bring your rabbit into the pet store because of possible illnesses that may be secretly looming. You need to determine the personality of your bunny, and then find a bunny that is  NOT aggressive, and that is similar to yours. Thats hard to do though, as I am finding my new little one, Rascal has quite the boisterous personality, as my other is laid back and informative.

Nuetering is the way to go to pair any bunnies together. Make sure you find out the success rate of the vet you choose to nueter your bunny, and make sure they do rabbits on a normal basis.

Good Luck! I'm going to need it too!

They'll both need to be neutered if you want them to get along. Is your mother set on a particular rabbit at the pet store, or is she open to adopting another adult rabbit? Baby rabbits are cute, but they can't be neutered right away and will eventually go through a "teenage" period that, well, is just what it sounds like - they'll get pretty moody! You also don't really get a good idea of what their adult personality will be like when you get them as babies.

It's probably easiest to introduce a neutered adult male to a spayed adult female. If you aren't set on a particular rabbit, I'd really recommend taking that route. If you haven't already, check your local shelters and http://www.petfinder.com/ for rabbits in your area - most of them come already fixed, and you'll be able to get a good idea of their personality.

If you do want that baby boy bunny, you'll need to be prepared to keep them separated for a while, before they get neutered and for awhile after while they heal.

Here's some really good info on rabbit bonding:

That said, some rabbits just won't ever get along, so if you do get another rabbit, make sure you have a plan b. I got my rabbit because he didn't get along with the owner's other rabbit - and they were both neutered and from the same litter.

All rabbit of the same s*x will fight. I was about six or seven when I got my second bunny, a REW (red eyed white). The breeder we got her from thought she was a boy, so, naturally, we thought she was a boy too. We placed her on our porch with a female bunny who was known to be aggressive but who we were sure would just mate and be done with it. About 15 minutes later, we returned and found spots of blood on the floor. First we found the aggressive doe, and picked her up and put her inside. After a few more minutes of searching, we discoverd my beautiful red eyed white huddled in a corner with blood all over her. We gently cleaned her up and had her checked: she was, in fact, a girl. We have never put any rabbits of the same s*x together since.

Answer 4

You can take it to see if they get along....but in the long run one or both will still need to be fixed!

Good luck :)

Answer 5

Two male bunnies that aren't neutered are nearly guaranteed to fight. Over dominance, over you, over anything. Idk if this means getting them both fixed or just one.
