Can male and female rabbits live together in one cage?
Yes they can Answer 2: On the whole, the following is true: Males and females can live together quite happily but you must be prepared for the consequences - Doe's breed continuously throughout the year and it would be very unfair to breed her so many times, not to mention the effect it would have on her general health. I personally have never put a male and female together for longer than a few hours when I wanted them to breed Males very rarely live with other males. They tend to get territorial and one will try and dominate the other.
This will usually result in serious injury or even death. Some males may tolerate each other when they are outside of their hutches (in a run or the garden) as opposed to being kept together in 1 cage Females will nearly always live happily with another female. This is particularly true if both Doe's have been introduced from a very early age, or are from the same litter.
You may, sometimes, be able to introduce an older female to another one but I suggest you watch them closely for a few days to make sure they do not fight. Does make better pets as they have a better temperament than bucks and will quite happily live together without fighting Males can be neutered and then they will be able to live with the female and you will not have to worry about an unwanted pregnancy. This is great because they get companionship which makes them happy and healthier.
Neutering male/male and female/female pairs also means they are more likely to live together without fighting.
Baby Bunnies in the Same Cage. Baby bunnies are the easiest to house together, are quick to bond, and will already be bonded if they are from the same litter, but they will grow older, so it does matter what sex the baby bunnies are. The following guidelines on housing male and female rabbits will also apply to the babies as they get older.
Do Not Put Two Unfixed Male Rabbits Together. First, do not house two unfixed males together as they will often try to kill each other. I had two males that weren't neutered actually chew through the wooden walls of a multiple hutch so they could get at each other to fight.
Unfixed males should always be kept in their own cage or hutch. What About Two Unfixed Female Rabbits? Two unfixed females may be okay, especially if they are put together when they are very young.
If they are older, you will have to take steps to see how they get along as one will sometimes try to dominate the other to show who's boss. Female rabbits that aren't spayed can also be very territorial and quite aggressive towards any other rabbit that enters her cage, even her own offspring once they have grown up and "moved" out. It is best to use the "neutral zone" method listed below when introducing two unfixed females.
Do Not Keep an Unfixed Male and an Unfixed Female in the Same Cage. If you intend to breed your rabbits, only keep the male and female together for a short time to breed. It is best to not put them together in the female rabbit's cage since she will feel territorial and may be aggressive toward the male, seeing him as a threat instead of a mate.
You can place the female in the male's cage to mate and then return the female to her own cage or the female won't have a moment of peace. Do Not House a Rabbit that Has Babies with Any Other Rabbit! The first reason is because the mother rabbit will see any other rabbit as a threat to her babies and will often attack the other rabbit to protect them.
The second reason, as sad as it is true, is that other rabbits will often kill the baby bunnies, especially a male rabbit because he wants the female to go into heat again so they can breed, which won't happen while she's nursing babies. I know it seems twisted, the male kills the baby bunnies so he can make more baby bunnies, but not everything in the animal world makes sense. Spayed and Neutered Is Best.
If you want to house a couple of rabbits together, it is best if they are spayed and/or neutered. Once rabbits are fixed, it can be possible to house a couple of males or females together and usually works great to house a male and female together as it is often "love at first sight". The Neutral Zone.
It is always best to introduce the rabbits you want to house together in a neutral area, not the cage, to see how they will get along first. This is even more important if one of the rabbits you want to house together already lives in the cage or hutch as they may feel territorial. If there isn't any conflict in the neutral zone, then you can put your bunnies in the cage together, but keep an eye on them for a while to make sure they continue to get a long or you could end up with one or both rabbits seriously injured.
If the friendship between two rabbits seems iffy, I recommend that you take it slowly. Keep the rabbits in separate cages for now and get them out to spend some supervised time together in the neutral zone on a regular basis. They may just need some time to warm up to each other and before you know it, they're inseparable.
Don't Force Them to Live Together. If two rabbits get along great in the neutral zone, but not in a cage together, don't force it. Keep them in separate cages and let them be together out of their cages.
Some rabbits are just territorial about their cage and you may not be able to do anything about it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
