Will two male rabbits fight2007-11-25 17:00:50

i have a male rabbit thats probably im guessing a little over 2 years old and we just moved and i threw away his old cage because it was in very bad condition so im going to get a new one im hoping today and the cage im going ot buy comes with a free baby rabbit i am wondering if theyll bothfight if i get two males. he is very a sweet rabbit who has never bitten anyone and right now is shoring a cage with my female guinea pig (since i still dont have HIS cage) and they get along real good i mean they even lick each other but maybe its different for the same type of animal? any advice?

Answers:

Any two bunnies on first meeting are likely to fight and this is especially true if you have two unneutered males. You guy might get along for a while with a baby, but once the baby hits puberty, they are likely to fight. AND it is very hard to accurately sex baby bunnies so you could end up with a female and if your guy isn't neutered, you'll have babies and that you do not need.

Before you get your bunny a friend, you should get him neutered and then wait about 4 weeks at least. Would you consider adopting? If so, you can call a local rescue and take your guy there to meet other bunnies and he can pick out a bunny. Most rescues have already been spayed or neutered so no worry about unexpected litters.

If you go to this site there is a tab that will give you lists of rescues and the site has wonderful information on rabbits. Please check out "bonding" section which will give you tips on getting two rabbits to be friends.

Should be ok if there are no females about.

They will if there not from the same mother!

Male rabbits do fight, on rare occasions if they are both young they'll be ok. Since your bunny is already 2 years he's probley set in his own way. I would get a female and have them both fixed.

i gus u can but females bond better with males but mostly rabbits just need companions

Two males will fight until one of them dies. It's a bad idea.

Yea they will fight. The new cage is the new rabbit's territory and when you bring another male into their territory they get made because it's like an intruder. Either that will happen or the bigger of the two will enjoy a ride on the new friend.
