Is it better to have two female rabbits or two males?
Rabbits should always live in pairs, as they can become stressed or sick if kept alone. They are sociable animals that need the company of other rabbits. One male and one female is the best pairing. Make sure they’re spayed and neutered before introducing them.
Is it normal for 2 male rabbits to hump?
Male rabbits hump each other for the same reasons that female rabbits do: to show dominance.

Can you have 2 different rabbits together?

How do you introduce two rabbits together?
Put the rabbits in nearby enclosures, where they can sniff each other through the wire. If your existing rabbit is free range, put the new rabbit in a small separated area so they can get used to each other’s scent. You can swap around their litter trays and rub a cloth over each transferring scents.
Can 2 Brother rabbits live together?
Two male rabbits can get along together, but this is usually the least successful pairing. For a male-male pairing to work, one rabbit needs to be much more submissive than the other. Never keep two unneutered male rabbits together, even if they’re brothers. They will fight to the point of causing injury.
