keeping sibling boys together

Question
We have 2 bun-buns.  They are brothers from the same litter and we got them both at the same time.  They are 5-6 months old.  The first one is Pigpen and the second is Other Bunny.  Pigpen seems to be the more dominant one of the two.  I see him often chasing Other Bunny around the hutch that they live in.  I don't want either bunny to be unhappy.  Should I still keep them together?

Answer
Hiya,
    well it all depends really. Cause rabbits like to chase each other in a playful way and somtimes in a horrible way.
So the next time you see Pigpen chasing the other bunny just watch carefully and see if its playful or not. You will be able to tell by them just chasing each other is playful but if its not playful he will be using his claws and that.If this is the case then you will have to seperate them.
Hope this helps and good luck from Natasha.
