Answer
Dear Tara,

Rabbits do thrive with the companionship of others.  But until your bunny is neutered, it could be disastrous to introduce a new bunny.  Please read:

www.rabbit.org/health/spay.html

and find a good rabbit vet here:

Once your boy is neutered and recovered, you might be able to find a spayed female from a local rescue (if such things exist for rabbits in Australia, where I know they are considered diabolical pests...) and have a "blind date."  Rabbits are very picky about their companions, and will fight ferociously if not introduced and bonded very patiently and carefully. You can find tips for this here:

Great articles on how to know if you should get another bunny, and how to do it successfully.

Hope this helps!
