All rabbits are gregarious and like company. But never add a new rabbit into the existing rabbit's cage as they are very territorial and yours will attack the new one severely. Place the new rabbit in a cage/pen adjacent to your rabbit so they can smell each other and get used to each other. After a few days when they are aware of each other, swap their cages, without cleaning them out first, so they are each going into the other's territory with all the scents of the other still in place in the cage. Keep swapping daily for a few days. After a few days ofalternating cages,place both of them together in a completely neutral place - i.e. not the home of either of them - with distractions - eg. nice grub, and supervise how they behave together. Carry on in this way until you are confident that they have bonded. It may take up to 10 days or so from the time you get the new bunny. If you are intending to introduce a male for the purposes of breeding, this will take less time as his mere presence will bring the doe into season and she will be receptive to him, but it still holds true that she will attack him if you just put him into her territory as soon as you get him.

How do you breed a rabbit?
To breed a rabbit take the female rabbit to the males cage never to the females cage. Once you have put them in the cage leave them there over night. After that in the morning take the rabbit out for 1 to 12 hours and then put them back in . Hope this helps if not send me an email at modlin.riley@gmail.com

Female guinea pig you bought one male and one female rabbit to be its friend why doesnt the female rabbit like the female guinea pig?
Actually rabbits an guinea pigs are fine together. But maybe the female guinea pig is felling lonely being the only kind in the cage. Or maybe its because the rabbit just doesn't like the guinea pig. If it's possible you can try getting another female guinea pig or separating the the guinea pig and rabbits.

Rabbits are territorial and when you put a male in a female's cage, it is her space. Therefore it's better to put the doe in the buck's cage.

Would a 7 week old mini lop that I have only had for a few days fight with another young rabbit introduced to it?
They could, it's very possible but it depends on if it's a male or female. If you're putting 2 females in a cage it just depends on their temperament If you're putting 2 males in a cage the chances are that they will fight no matter what. It also depends on if the rabbit that you're putting the new rabbit in with has been isolated by itself for a while. If the rabbits are both young they might not fight hard to tell. As I earlier it really depends on the temperament of the 2 individuals.
Why does your male rabbit have bald patches?
If it is in the cage with other rabbits, male or female, it may be because he is trying to mate with them and they are not happy with it and are bitting to get him away.. if he is alone, he may be very stressed out. double check your cage environment, cage location, and who touches the rabbit. these are all very critical
