advice about rabbits

[lozzer50]

i ve got a female rabbit and she is very quiet . is it possible to introduce another rabbit in the cage with her or would they fight? i think she needs a companion but not sure if its a bit late now as she is nearly 1year old.
Any advice would be very welcome
thanks :0)

What do you mean by quiet? Rabbits do not make a noise as far as I know.

[lozzer50]

quiet as in sits in one position a lot of the time and looks bored( if thats he right way to put it !)

I've also heard that a guinea pig makes a good companion for a rabbit.

www.rabbit-information.co.uk/ - there are plenty of other sites to give you information Lozzer - rabbits need company, plenty of places to run around in, the correct diet and food - they are very unhappy in a small cage with nothing to do all day. You obviously care about your bunny so go onto these sites and get some advice. If you think she may be ill then she needs to see a vet. Please keep us posted and well done for caring about your pet

Next door has a guineapig and a rabbit, they seem to get on well.

Guinea pigs and rabbits are often housed together but they actually should be fed their own specialised food so it's not really recommended.
