No. Most rabbits are happier in a cage alone. In some cases a spayed/neutered rabbit will have no problem sharing a cage. However most rabbits are solitary.
A different answer (disagreement): Actually, rabbits are social animals.
In the wild they live in big groups (called "warrens" - this is also the name for the system of burrows and tunnels they live in).
Pet rabbits need a lot of companionship and socializing: if not from other rabbits, then from you (their owners). There are many benefits to keeping rabbits together, but they must be properly "bonded," which means they love each other and can be trusted not to fight. Rabbits need to be spayed/neutered before the bonding process starts. (Some people have successfully bonded two unspayed females raised from the same litter, but this isn't common.) When rabbits aren't spayed/neutered, they'll probably fight, or they'll breed. See the related question below for details and links about bonding.
Yes, rabbits can get lonely and bored if they're alone much of the time and have nothing to do. Rabbits are social, active animals!
Pet rabbits should be provided with:
Rabbits can also be bonded with another rabbit. Having another bunny around to love and play with and snuggle can definitely keep a rabbit from being lonely. Both rabbits should be neutered/spayed before introduced. The rabbits should be introduced gradually, and not kept in the same cage immediately. The bonding process can take from 2 weeks to months long. Never let the rabbits fight.

Yes! If you cannot spend a lot of time with your bunny, get them a companion.
Before you do this, make sure your bunny is spayed/neutered. Try to get their companion from a shelter. If you have a younger rabbit, I'm sure old buck would be good for him/her.
Rabbits can't be left alone for long periods of time. Rabbits need certain tasks done for them every day:
Rabbits don't need to live with other rabbits. Rabbits are social animals and they benefit from living with other bunnies, but they can also be perfectly happy with only their humans' attention.

No, rabbits are sociable creatures that depend on their "community" for survival
alone and solitary means pretty much the same thing, but rabbits live in groups.
It's best to keep them with a friend/ sibling from birth but they can live on their own if you give them lots of attention.
Rabbits live in groups. Mostly because they reproduce quickly.
No, they are solitary animals.
because most animals have no conpent of 'belonging' to a group . the vast majority of animals lead solitary lives only speaking out others of the same species in order of mate .
Hardly. Penguins are amongst the most social animals on earth.
Animals live in solitary to avoid competition for food, competition for space , competition for mate and competition for shelter. By : Saraniya Ashok Kumar ( SRi Cempaka )
Solitary animals are usually those that are fiercely territorial. They don't like to share their territory or their food so they are better left alone except when it is time to mate.
