One answer: Every rabbit over the age of 4 months should have it's own cage. The reason being that rabbits are very territorial. Even rabbits from the same litter will become territorial as they age. It is a natural inbred instinct- Survival of the fittest, fattest, smartest. Especially 2 female rabbits as they reach breeding age they will want room to raise a family. Rabbits will bite each other, slit their ears and does have been known to castrate males and/or kill them.

Another answer: For rabbits to live together in the same cage, they have to be "bonded," which means they love each other and can be trusted not to fight. Some people have had success bonding two unspayed females raised from the same litter, but the general rule with bonding is to spay/neuter the rabbits first. Rabbits that aren't spayed/neutered tend to either fight or mate. See the related links below about rabbit bonding for more details.

Baby rabbits can share the same cage until 3 to 4 months of age. They will begin fighting and/or trying to breed at this age and need to be separated for their own safety. EVERY rabbit should have it's own cage. Rabbits are very territorial.

Rabbits are very territorial, in the wild they live in extended family groups and fight with trespassing rabbits. HOWEVER, they categorically prefer to live with rabbit company and so as human custodians, if we can't keep them in natural family groups then we must find them suitable company and safely BOND them so that they come to perceive each other as family/friends instead of invader. Neutering is required to prevent breeding, it is also better for the rabbits physical health as they are prone to reproductive system cancers but most importantly is reduces hormonal aggression to aid bonding non-familial rabbits. The best bonds are neutered male & female pair. Then siblings of any gender blend (ie maintaining a familial bond from birth). Then neutered male pairing, then neutered female pairing. Although rabbit personalities and personal preferences will also have a part to play and bigger mixed groups are also possible with skill(or luck), time and patience.

Every rabbit should have it's own cage. Rabbits are very territorial. Male rabbits WILL castrate each other if they start fighting.

Where do Ribbits live?

Rabbits are pretty much found anywhere in the U.S. They like cooler climates, which is why most live underground. Rabbits hate the heat, and they can die of heatstroke. Do not confuse rabbits with hares, which are not rabbits at all, and rabbits and hares cannot reproduce together, i.e. there is no such thing as a rabbit/hare.i have 2 baby rabbit in my back yardthere so cute
