I'm not sure about 2 males but 2 females can be kept together, although I'd recommend getting them spayed when they are old enough to stop any fights. I have 2 sisters that have lived together their whole lives, Ruby used to bully Millie a bit when they were younger but since they were spayed they have only ever had one falling out. It's also a lot easier having 2 rabbits that are already bonded so you don't have to bond them yourself!

Varna,

Bonding can be very difficult and frustrating, or it can be love at first site. It doesnt matter if two rabbits are from the same litter, they may still fight. Just bringing home two rabbits from the same litter and hoping for them to be forever friends will not always work. Often, two rabbits who are best buds when they are babies will fight as they mature.

With regards to sex, a male and a female are considered the easiest to bond, then two females, and then two males. That being said, it depends more on the personality and less on the sex of the rabbit. There is also no guarentee that by bringing homea male and a female that they will be friends.

It is important that both rabbits be altered before introductions, to ensure there arent any unwanted pregnancies and to help reduce aggression. Rabbits who are neutered tend to be less territorial, which helps when bonding.

I hope this answers your question!
