Do dwarf lop rabbits prefer to be in pairs?
Dwarf lop-eared rabbits behave pretty much the same as other domestic rabbits. Rabbits are social animals and there are many benefits to bonding them with other rabbits, but also many risks. Rabbits must be introduced to each other carefully and certain procedures must be followed so that everyone stays safe and happy. Rabbits are individuals, too. Some rabbits just won't get along for no discernible reason. Some rabbits are happier without other pets around: they prefer being bonded to their human companion. You have to get to know your rabbit if you want to know what she or he prefers.

If you have a local rabbit rescue or rabbit-friendly animal shelter, ask if they perform bonding services, or if they have any advice for how to bond two rabbits.

Breeding is a big responsibility: don't let it happen by accident!

Why does my dwarf rabbit run away from other big rabbit when they meet making noises?
Your dwarf rabbit is probably afraid of your larger rabbit. You should consider supervised bonding time where neither has the chance to attack the other. If your smaller rabbit can overcome its fear through repeated exposure, your rabbits will probably learn to be good friends. You will have to simply give it time and reassure your dwarf rabbit that he's not going to be hurt. The House Rabbit Society has some good tips on bonding rabbits (http://rabbit.org/faq/sections/introductions.html).
