Rabbit question help...?

Question

Ok I had my pet rabbit for a year now and I want to buy a new rabbit so it can keep it company

is it ok to do that

btw I have a dwarf/lion head

Answer 1

I would only do that if you get them both spayed or neutered.Dwarf rabbits are usually on the mellow side, so bonding is easier;but I would still get them fixed.It helps with a lot of bad habits as well, like digging, chewing, circling, and spraying.

If you get a girl rabbit and a boy rabbit, they will obviously make baby rabbits unless they are BOTH spayed or neutered.This kind of pair works the best because of the natural bond.

A boy/boy pair will fight, but if they are neutered they get along the second best.

A girl/girl pair will hate eachother's guts unless they are both spayed.And then they still might hate eachother's guts! This is the hardest way to pair rabbits.Believe me.I have two girl rabbits, one spayed and one not.They hate eachother!  

Answer 2

You can but don't keep them in the same cage.  The others' advise about having them fixed and not getting 2 males is good advice too.   You will have to introduce them to each other gradually in neutral territory. there is a lot of info about this on the web so google it and have a read before you get the new one, rabbit societies often have lots of info on their pages. If they get along after being introduced, keep their cages where they can see each other to socialize, apparently bunnies sometimes just like to sit and look at each other, weird but that's what my book on bunnies says.  Good luck, hope they do get along :)

Answer 3

I wouldn't suggest it.  Almost all rabbits are independent and will fight with another unless they were together since a very young age. If you do get one they will probably end up killing each other or being injured very badly.  But if you really want one your best chance is getting the opposite s*x (that is neutered or spayed.

Answer 4

Having two rabbits can be very risky. You might end up buying another cage because they will fight so much.  

Answer 5

A rabbit rescue in your area can help you match them up.  

Answer 6

See I wanted to do the same thing. I have 2 female rabbits. My oldest rabbit is Boo, she is 7 months old and we got Missy a month later. We tried to get them to live with each other, but Boo (my eldest) started biting Missy. I got in the pin where they were together and i tried to separate them but then Boo bit me. Boo is a mini lop, and Missy is a mini rex. We had no luck with them together but you might.

Answer 7

it depends on the gender of the rabbit.

two bucks usually will not get along and may fight.

A buck and a doe will have babies unless they are spade and neutered.

Two doe's however can be kept together, two sister does espacialy have a close bond, and will stay good companions for a lifetime.

hopefully that helps:)
