We have one rabbit, 'floppy'. A male black and white butterfly markings dwarf lop eared.
Just wondering if you can introduce another male rabbit to him.
my son has seen a gorgeus rabbit in the pet shop we got floppy from. They are lovely :D
And Floppy is soooo docile bless him.
Would love to get another,m but if they fight I wont.
Can anyone elaborate on this, I have been told males will fight, is this true???

Yes, there is a fair chance they will. My niece had two males (bought from the same litter) and they were fine to start with. However, it didn't take too long for them to start fighting which resulted in vet treatment for one of them. They were advised that neutering them could help but they decided against it. The two rabbits then lived their lives in seperate hutch's and seperate outside runs which I feel was really sad because they need company. A friend's daughter has just done the same thing - two males which now fight and despite having them neutered they are also kept apart.
I was lucky, I had two girls (sadly one died last year) and they loved eachother to bit's. Spent hours side by side grooming.
As far as I know you are better off having a male and a female (neutered of course !!).

I used to breed Rabbits, and most people split the males up by 12 to 16 weeks of age, as they will almost invariably fight.  Some does will also, but some of the more docile breeds the does are fine.  Adults should not be introduced into the same living space, though will be Ok in a run together if the3y have room to get away from each other.

My friend has two male mini lops who were introduced at about 7 weeks old, they are now about 7 years old and still living happily together (both neutered) I wouldnt recommend introducing a male to another male adult though the chance are they will fight :)

Ok, thanks everyone.
I will leave the rabbit at the pet shop!!!!!!!!!
thanks for everyones advice. Very much appreciated :)

you could always get it and put it in a run next to your other one, my parents have two rabbits who dont get on at all but they love to lie next to eachother whilst out in their separate runs :)

Brainless, could you give me some advice?

We have got a male dwarf lop. He is 6 months now and has become extremely aggressive. He has always been handled, runs about the house for some time every day, he also has a run outside that he uses everyday. We have 3 guinea pigs that he enjoys the company off. The problem is the aggresion, there appears no reason for it. We took him to the vet to see if there was anything wrong but he said he is in good health. He scratches, bites and hisses when we approach him. Nothing upsetting has happened to him.
He gave my daughter a nasty gash at the weekend that ended up needing stitches at A&E. She is now petrified of him. This change occured around 5 months and we asked the vet if we should have him neutered but he said it would make no difference to his aggression. Is this true?

Im not sure if having him done will help but they do say rabbits are high risk, under anesthetic because they are so small. Though I did have mine operated on due to abcesses which are common, he was ok but the abs return & I had to have him PTS.
Ive had a rehomed rabbit once he was nasty, but i just carried on, taking the food bowls out was like world war 3, I ended up scratch but I didnt leave the hutch until he gave in. In the end I was the only one he would let near him. When I had a few days away my sister fed him with motorbike gloves on. Thats just my experiences :)
