Should I Get Another Bunny For My Bunny?
Rabbits love company. They are social and if you can not spend lots of time with your rabbit, a little friend would make the bunny very happy and keep it from becoming bored. If you don't work or have a large family, and know someone will always give the rabbit company, you don't need a second rabbit. However, if you have a busy work schedule and are too tired to play with your rabbit when you get home, but you still want one so bad, consider getting not one, but two.
Having two bunnies will keep one another entertained, which will take the "have to always entertain my rabbit" pressure off you.
​
If you so chose to get a second rabbit here is a small little guide to help you:
​
Buck/Doe
-Having rabbits of opposite sex is possibly the best combination you can have. However, if you don't get either spayed/neutered, you'll end up with more rabbits then you bargained for. (Even if they are siblings)
​
Buck/Buck
-If not neutered, it is almost impossible for adult bucks to become friends. Yes, even if they are siblings and grew up together. They will fight constantly and possibly to the death. Each buck feels the need to establish their own space and attract their own females. Competition is very high among males.
​
Doe/Doe
-Does have the possibility of becoming friends if they are not spayed. If they are introduced to one another slowly, carefully, and from a young age, they should make out to be friends. They most likely will not fight, but may have occasional bickers over territory and showing dominance. If they do fight, it would not be to the death, and the worst thing that can happen is the rabbits will stay away from each other, or seek one another out to show dominance to the other. Spaying one or both of them is always recommended.
​
Buying siblings
-If you buy two siblings (such as sisters/brothers), be prepared for them to rather spend time with their sibling then with you. Of course they will beg for and desire your affection, but some rabbits would rather spend time cuddling their own species then with you. Our rabbits are not like that!
If you get a brother and sister pair, make sure you get the buck neutered as soon as his testicles descend. (You don't want to end up with a young rabbit having babies. -This could kill the baby bunny having babies.)
