Rabbits are social animals and live in large groups in the wild. So unless you are able to give a single rabbit a lot of time and attention (at least an hour a day or else it won't be familiar with you), it is recommended that you get it a buddy. It doesn't necesarily have to be another rabbit. Guinea pigs make great rabbit friends too.

If you get 2 rabbits, I recommend getting 2 from the same litter. That way you won't have to introduce them, as sometime rabbits from different litters won't make nice.

Please also remember to get your rabbits spayed/ neutered. The saying 'breed like rabbits' is super true. There are enough unwanted rabbits and breeders without more becoming available.

How did rabbits help Leonardo Fibonacci to explain the Fibonacci number system?

The scenario is as follows : The numbers represent adult pairs of rabbits. I will also include pairs of juvenile rabbits as numbers in brackets eg. (1). Each month, every pair of adult rabbits produces a pair of juveniles. It takes one month for each pair of juvenile rabbits to reach breeding age. Certain assumptions are made : 1) No rabbits die. 2) There are always an equal number of males/females. Month 1 : 1 (0) - You have one pair of adult rabbits Month 2 : 1 (1) - The adult pair breed Month 3 : 2 (1) - The adult pair breed again, and the juvenile pair grow up Month 4 : 3 (2) - The 2 adult pairs breed, and one juvenile pair grow up Month 5 : 5 (3) - The 3 adult pairs breed, the 2 juvenile pairs grow up Month 6 : 8 (5) - The 5 adult pairs breed, the 3 juvenile pairs grow up.
