First answer: yes you can they get along very well, it's very unusual for them not too.

A different opinion: Actually, rabbits often don't get along with each other, at least not right away. You can't just put two rabbits in a cage together and expect them to get along.

Before you keep two rabbits together, you have to "bond" them. Sometimes bonding goes very quickly, just a couple of weeks; other times, it can take months.

Generally speaking, the rabbits have to be spayed before they're bonded. Two female rabbits raised together from the same litter may get along fine without being spayed; otherwise, they probably won't. Spaying also has behavioural benefits and health benefits (particularly regarding ovarian cancer, which is very common in young female rabbits).

Is cottontail rabbit an escaped domestic rabbit?

No. A Cottontail rabbit is not a rabbit at all. It is a Hare, a cousin to our Domestic rabbits. In-fact if you put a female Hare in a Male rabbits cage, or visa versa they can't breed. They look they same but they are not the same thing.

Will a female rabbit try to mate another female rabbit?

Yes, they will try to mate with each other. They are signaling to a buck that they are ready to breed. They are not actually trying to breed. BUT every rabbit should have it's own cage so how is this happening? Another opinion: Rabbits of both sexes sometimes mount another rabbit as a show of dominance. Mounting isn't always a sexual behaviour. One female mounting another is trying to assert dominance. Keep an eye on your bunnies and separate them if it turns to fighting. Rabbits can be kept in the same cage if they're bonded. Usually this means the rabbits must be neutered/spayed - but, in some cases, when they've been raised together, female rabbits can be kept together even when they aren't spayed, and they won't fight. When rabbits are bonded, that means they don't fight and are affectionate. The bonding process can take anywhere from a couple weeks, to many months of patience and hard work.

Can a female guinea pig be in the same cage with a female dwarf rabbit?

Lots of people say rabbits can be kept in the same cage as guinea pigs but it's very dangerous and should never happen. Even if your rabbit is friendly or just a bunny the guinea pig will get bullied. This will also lead to lack of the space and the guinea pig may be stepped on or crowded in the cage. Rabbits need a bigger cage, a bigger run and different medicine and vaccinations which affects the guinea pigs well being. If you are looking for a partner for your piggy try another lonely female or a neutered male. But guinea pigs should always be kept with another guinea pig and no rabbits!

What will happen if two rabbits are in the same cage?

Not a good idea. They will tolerate their mates pretty well for awhile but are very territorial and will fight with strange rabbits, especially males. Males and females should be separated form each other by 3 months and by 4 months EVERYONE should have their own cage. The males should probably have their own cage at 3 months to prevent fighting.


Can you buy a 1 year old bunny rabbit that is friendly to other bunny rabbits the same age?

You can pair up pet rabbits. It is best not to have two males in the same cage. Either get two females, or a male and a female. Having the rabbits spayed and neutered will increase the chances that they will get along. Keep a close eye on them for the first several days, and introduce them slowly.
