Please help rabbit problem, experts needed2007-11-24 22:14:37

ok. i have had a dwarf female rabbit, for about a year, and i was wondering if another rabbit, preferably a different breed would bond well. i know different breeds cant breed so i wont have a problem there. sex doesnst matter, and i would get a bigger cage. if they didnt bond well, i would keep them in seperate cages, but could they bond without neutering/spaying?

thanks!!! ~~*Emmie*~~

I also have a female dwarf rabbit and I've been looking for a rabbit companion for her. Just so you know, different breeds can mate. So anyways, everyone above me so far has said that getting a female rabbit is better, but that isn't true. A male or female would go nicely. But you do need to get them fixed, even if you get another female. They will be more calm and get along a lot easier. You can probably adopt a fixed rabbit from a shelter for a reasonable price, probably between 50 and 70 dollars. And you could even get your current rabbit fixed for a small fee at a shelter, rather than going to the vet. I went to the vet and paid $180. As for which breed to get for her, I've been told (by shelter experts) a number of different ones. For example, dwarfs, dwarf mixes, hotot, mini rex, lop-eared, or lionhead (if you can find one. They're so cute that they're hard to find). You don't have to keep the bunnies in seperate cages, you can just get a bigger one. And they'll enjoy a bigger one, too. If you want a nice big, economical cage, you can go to Wal-mart or some place like that and get wire grids. A box of them costs $12-20. You can hold them together with zippy ties. That way you get a nice big cage and it won't cost a lot at all. I hope this has helped you! Good luck finding a new bunny!

Yeah you could get another rabbit if it was a female. Usually female rabbits get along good with each other in the same cage. However, you must neuter a male (if you plan to keep him in the same cage as the female) if you don't want any lil' bunnies runnin' around! If you keep the male separate from the female and don't neuter him, you should be fine (just don't play with them at the same time; you don't want any unexpected baby bunnies!). Hope this heps! :)))

You should get a Dalmation Rex. A Dalmation Rex has white fur and black spots, just like a Dalmation dog. They bond good with your kind of rabbit, you should get a female, unless you want to be a breeder.
