Can rabbits get depressed if they are the only rabbit in the house?
LittleMr
Rabbits are social animals and need daily interaction (playing, cuddling, grooming). They will get depressed, lonely, and bored if left alone. They don't need another rabbit necessarily: they can "bond" with you (their human companion). There are benefits to bonding them with another rabbit, but risks as well.
Another Opinion: i dont think they will but if you dont spend time with them or they dont have anything to play with or do, they may get bored and start pulling fur out, but they would appreciate having a little friend of their kind, they have to be the same age or they will fight, you could have either another rabbit, or a guinea-pig
Pulling fur can be a sign of depression (self-mutilation); it can also be a sign of "false pregnancy."

Do rabbits get depressed when they are the only rabbit in the house?
Sometimes it is better that they are on there own. When you have a girl and a boy rabbit, they will have babies. when you have two girls or two boys, they might either get along great or litteraly kill each other. So no, don't worry about him/her being lonely as long as you pet it and hold it and play with it at least every other day.

Should you introduce a buck to a baby rabbit?
NO, male rabbits are territorial and may hurt the baby. I concure! I would recommend that you not only keep your baby rabbits away from all adult male rabbits (bucks), but also do not let the bucks be around you without a someone that is atleast a teenager and knowledgeful of rabbit behavior as they are prone to be territorial among each other and may fight it out. Buck rabbits will kill infant rabbits and I have seen this happen as I was a rabbit breeder. There was only one buck rabbit I know of that did not do this and he was our most well behaved rabbit and this was only under my (as the family rabbit breeder and the one that studied it the most) supervision.
