Rabbits are social animals and require a lot of social interaction. It can be very beneficial to keeping a couple of bonded rabbits.
Older rabbits will often bond with younger rabbits, but both rabbits must be neutered/spayed. People often say that male/female (buck/doe) matches work best, but two neutered bucks and/or two spayed females have often been known to get along just as well.
If you picked the dead bunny up and shook it it probably sloshed like it was full of water . This is mucoid enteritis and is the main cause of young rabbits mortality. It seems to be especially prevalent in the young lop earred rabbits.
Most mothers wean their young by 9 weeks old. Domestic rabbits are usually between 6 and 8 weeks old when they are weaned. The longer they stay drinking frm their mother, the healthier they will be.
Rabbits do not typically move their young or carry them in their mouths like other animals. The most a mother bunny will do is gently nudge their little ones back into the nest.
Young rabbits are usually protected by their mother. The mother will protect the young by chasing away the predator or by hiding the young under them
Young rabbits are called "kits" (based on the word "kitten") regardless of gender. The group or litter of baby rabbits can be called a "kindle." Young hares (under a year old) are called "leverets" regardless of gender. Adult male rabbits and hares are called bucks. Adult female rabbits and hares are called does.
Older rabbits play less than younger rabbits but they still do like to play. See the related question below for more info about rabbits playing. Rabbits also like to sit poo and poo and poo and sleep and sleep and sleep and eat.
No, rabbits do not breastfeed their young. Instead, they nurse their babies by providing them with milk from their mammary glands.
Rabbits protect their young by creating burrows or nests in hidden areas to keep them safe from predators. The mother rabbit also stays close to her young to provide warmth and protection. Additionally, mother rabbits are known to be very alert and will flee or fight to defend their babies if they sense danger.
no, but the male rabbit will impregnate the female baby offspring when they mature. so young rabbits will not kill the baby rabbit.

Rabbits give birth to live young which are then fed on milk like all other mammals. There is no major procedural difference between the pregnancy and birth procedures of rabbits and humans.
A female rabbit is a called a "doe," just like a female deer. Sometimes a female rabbit is called a "jill," but that's not very common.
