if they are both neutered then its just the same as trying to bond male/female:

It all depends on temperament.

Yeah they've both had the snip. This is my first time bonding. I've read up loads on it and I've notice it says that males are very hard to bond.

 

Hoppit!

I don't know much about bonding as I've never had to do it. Both my boys were males and couldn't have been closer, but they were littermates. I do know you have to wait 6 weeks post op, and bond in a small space on neutral ground. Good luck!

Thank hoppit. I'm getting him from local rabbit rescue so they said I can't get him home till he's all healed and ready. So figures cross

If you have a male already I would tend to go for a female as a companion, you can bond males but it's more difficult and more likely to result in a fight. If the rescue is willing to let you try it then you can see if their personalities match (if both are quite dominant buns you get a fight) but be prepared you may have to take him back as it doesn't always work out.
