Question
I just purchased 2 male bunny's from the pet store. They were the only 2 and they were getting along great. When i bring them home they will be sharing a large cage. Since they were with eachother since birth will they fight or will they get along fine?  

Answer
Dear Tiffany,

There's no way to know yet how they'll behave once they reach sexual maturity, but if they get along now they should be okay unless one starts mounting the other (to show dominance) and there's a disagreement about who's top bun.

To prevent problems, you should have them both neutered as soon as their testicles descend (at about 3-4 months) and be sure they are never separated, as even a short time apart can break a bond.

You can find a good rabbit vet here:

Hope this helps.
