It is usually not advised to keep two male rabbits together, especially if there are females nearby. However, if the pair are acquired together as youngsters, like littermates, and neutered before they reach sexual maturity, the chances for successful cohabitation greatly increases.

Do rabbits have to get neutured?

They don't have to, but getting them neutered can calm them down a lot, it's also best to get them neutered if you're putting two male rabbits together, or a male and a female. Two male rabbits can still fight if you get them neutered, it just lowers the chance. And it's obvious what will happen if you put a male and female together...


Do two Neatherland dwarf rabbits get along?

What gender are the rabbits? If both Netherland Dwarfs are bucks then it is almost a guarantee that they will not get along. Bucks are extremely aggressive to other bucks and will even fight until death. If both of the rabbits are females, then there is a chance they will get along when they are young, but as they reach maturity they may start fighting. Of course, this does depends on each rabbits personality. The best combination of two Netherland Dwarfs would be a fixed buck and a doe. The buck must be fixed or you will get lots of babies (which is not good on the doe's body). Rabbits generally do best when they are caged separately, although there are exceptional cases where two rabbits get along just fine. The choice is up to the owner, but there are always unpredictable risks when putting two rabbits together.


Can two female rabbits breed?

because they are making sure the other rabbit knows that its the dominant one. Mine do it all the time and i have had them for a year and a half now :) They are signaling to any buck in the immediate area that they are ready to breed. Why are your rabbits together so they can do this? Every rabbit should have it's own cage, It's own space so to speak.


What rabbits get along?

It depends on the rabbits/gerbils personality. You can never tell without putting them together. Try putting them together, but make sure you're ready to stop any fighting if they don't get on. It's up to the animals really whether they do or not.


Is it better to have 2 female rabbits together or 2 males?

It is generally best to have one male and one female rabbit together to avoid potential aggressive behavior that can occur between two males or two females. If not planning to breed the rabbits, it is essential to have them spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters.

I have two female rabbits one of them got pregnant with my friends male rabbit my question is will the baby rabbits be all right with another female around?

It will take around a month until the babies are born. You'll need to separate the female rabbits before she gives birth and until the babies have grown up. You should be able to put them back together after. But the rabbit without babies may get jealous and kill the babies.

Should i keep my male and female guineapigs together?

It is not advised to keep them housed together. It is okay to put them together for a day or two for breeding, but if kept together they may end up fighting. The female will protect her babies after they are born and a male can also harm the babies.


What happens if you put two male rabbits and one female together?

The male rabbits will probably fight and possibly kill each other. They quite possibly will neuter each other. No rabbits should be caged together. Rabbits are very territorial and need their own space. The female WILL also get tired of being bugged by males and can turn on them and fight the male also sometimes castrating (or neutering) the males which is why you should watch your rabbits when you are attempting to breed them.

When two rabbits have babies should you separate the father from the babies?

yes, but only because the female rabbit could become pregnant again just hours after giving birth and will not be able to look after her new baby bunnies. The male rabbits make fantastic dads so if you were to get him neutered this would be fine. and the females tend to get very violent twards the male

Will your rabbit get ill if she has two loads of babies in three weeks?

Isn't that impossible. They are pregnant for one month No that is certainly NOT impossible. The rabbit has two uterus which is why a male rabbit should be kept separate from a doe that is having kits - not because he will harm the babies. Male rabbits usually do not harm the litter but can impregnate the mother and the second lot of babies may not form properly if she has them in both uteri. It may harm the rabbit as it could mean her babies get stuck, aren't formed correctly or just plain wear her out. So we are clear here - rabbits can be pregnant with two separate litters from different dates simultaneously!!!!!!
