People mistakenly think that 2 rabbits are twice as much work. This is not true. Two rabbits in separate cages are twice as much work; however when you have a bonded pair sharing a cage, it is only one cage, water bottle and litter box. You may have twice as many vet visits, but it really isn't much extra work at all.

If you are presently a rabbit owner and thinking about adopting a second bunny as a companion for your first, there are few things you should consider. While the rabbits are happier with friends around, you cannot just put any two rabbits together and expect them to get along instantly. They must "date" first so they can get to know each other. If you are thinking of getting a companion for your bunny, please read our bonding article. Bonding isn't always easy, so if you are a first time owner, it is easier to adopt an already bonded pair than to try and bond them yourself.

Please, only put rabbits together if they are spayed and neutered. There are too many bunnies being euthanized and rabbits do multiply fast!
