Introducing 2 adult male rabbits???

22 11:35:57

Question
We have a 2 year old outdoor Male Rabbit that we built a large pen with a hutch about 1 foot off the ground that he can climb up into through the floor.  It has worked very well, he has room the run, protection to climb up into his hutch and we can go inside his pen with him to play.
Today my daughter received a new adult male rabbit as a gift.  Is there any chance of getting the two in the same living quarters?  Or do I need to face the fact that we have to come up with keeping them seperated.  Our mini rex has not been neutered and I have no history on the new guy, He is a large floppy eared black & white guy with clean nails that only seen alittle overgrown.  We've never owned more than 1 rabbit at a time.  What do you think?

Answer
Hello Cindy

They cant be kept together becuse they will tear apart each others male parts and this will be a very painful neutering and they could also kill each other, even when neutered they will probaly fight anyways so its best to keep them apart.
