I currently have a male rabbit and is quite lonely. Me and my daughter are thinking of getting him a new friend. Since my rabbit isn’t currently fixed, we cannot get a doe, as that leads to baby bunnies ;) Someone let me know if it’s ok that 2 male rabbits can be together!
 
No, you can't keep two intact male rabbits together. Almost always they will fight, even to the point of a possible fatality. Only way to bond male rabbits is to first get them neutered and wait 8 weeks for the hormones to fade. Then the easiest route is to find a rescue with already spayed/neutered buns, and let your bun pick his own friend. Usually male/female pairs work out the best, but sometimes male/male can work out if you find the right bun for him.

So if you are thinking you might do this, I would suggest reading up on the bonding process prior so you know what to expect.
