how to have a good pet rabbit?

Well, that is dependent on a lot of different things. I have one male rabbit, and he really is a sweetie and wouldn’t hurt a fly. But I am not sure how well he would get along with other rabbits.

Rabbits are generally very social animals, and therefore, getting two rabbits together may be a good idea. Rabbits in the wild usually stay together in a group for survival, companionship and to help groom each other. Two rabbits that grow up together will usually play together and will help to protect each other too.

The first consideration that you should have when considering of getting one or two rabbits together are the gender of the rabbit. Having two male rabbits, two female rabbits or one male and one female rabbits all have different issues to address.

Two male rabbits that grow up together seem to live together all fine. That is until they become sexually matured. Once they become young adults, the male hormone will kick in and they will tend to demonstrate their dominance over each other. Male rabbits usually exert their dominance by fighting. Hence, you may going to sleep at night having two rabbits together that are of the best buddies and yet wake up the next morning finding them fighting and injuring each other.

Having two female rabbits may not be that injurious to each other compared to having two male rabbits, but rabbits are very territorial animals. It is not uncommon to find female rabbits fighting for dominance too.

Two male rabbits that have been spayed exert less dominance. They may still fight each other occasionally, but they engage more of a friendly fight, rather than violent fight before they were spayed.

Do not be surprised to see your two rabbits mounting on each other even after they have been altered. The frequency is decreased tremendously, however. Even female rabbits will sometimes mount male rabbits too. This is just their way of showing who the boss is.

If you intend to keep two rabbits together, please ensure that their rabbit housing is of big enough space. You may keep two rabbits together in one cage or one hutch. In fact, it is encouraged that two rabbits that have been altered to be kept together in the same cage. That way, the two rabbits feel less lonely, easier to bond with each other and are less likely to fight when they are outside the cage.
