One or a Pair?
Single rabbits require more attention. However rabbits can be happier living in pairs. Siblings from the same litter are the best choice. Pairs make good companions as long as you have the buck neutered as soon as possible. Two does will get along with each other very well. Two bucks will get along with each other too but will have to both be neutered as soon as possible as they will become aggressive after reaching maturity.
