I have a perfect home for one of the baby bunnies. She has experience with rabbits, and has a great living area for them. She is a "house rabbit' person, so they will have their own room. But she wants two. They will be from the same litter, but is it safe for the long run? I'm not sure if they will be spayed or not. It would be great to get a home for two!
 
Sometimes 2 rabbits can be rebonded after they were separated for months when they were hormonal & before neutering, but it's not guaranteed.

So if she's experienced, she might have been lucky with rebonding but may not be again. And if they are turn out to be a male & a female, there's always the chance of an accidental pregnancy, if one can jump into the other's area or whatever.
 
Do you know what sexes she wants? If shes wants 2 females, then it can work, but she does need to understand that they might not get along even if they are spayed. If she wants a male and female, then it is more risky as they can breed and would need to be spayed or neutered to live together. 2 males would be an issue if she was wanting to keep them together.
I do think that people can be responsible and be able to have intact rabbits of opposite sexes without them breeding, but they need to know what they are doing and have the cages so they can't get at each other.

You may want to ask some more questions about if she plans on getting them spayed or neutered and what she would do if they don't get along.
 
The babies are together right now, and she wants two females.
 
Females who aren't spayed have such a high incidence of cancer as a result that their life expectancies are much lower than spayed female house rabbits. Of course the spaying doesn't have to be done at 6 months, but I wouldn't wait past a year if I could help it.

And they don't become hormonal until around 3 months or so, so are fine together until then.
