Question
i have a neutered male rabbit who is about a year old or a few months under. i found another male bunny in a pet shop that i am thinking of getting but i don't know if it's a good idea to bond two males. what are the chances of them successfully bonding if one is neutered and the other is young and can be neutured asap?

Answer
It is going to depend on the rabbits.  If they like each other, then chances are it will work.  If they immediately start fighting, then it's probably not going to work.  But you wouldn't be able to find out for sure until you have them together.

You can find information on bonding at http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/introductions.html  

The males I have paired have either been brothers or have been older males, I've never tried to pair male rabbits in this age group.
