can 2 male bunnies neutered live together?
- Thread starter bunny-boo

Once the young one has been neutered and his hormones have settled down, there is no reason why they would fight any more than a boy girl pair :wave: it is unneutered bucks that would have a problem with each other.

That could happen for any bonded buns I think, there is always a chance they may fall out at some point regardless of the sex you put together. My two fell out when the babies hormones kicked in, they had a fight. There was fur everywhere from my poor older neutered bun. Once the baby was neutered and had enough time for the hormones to die down they were re bonded :wave:

I have loads of males living together - in pairs and groups, some with females added n, some not. TBH its all down to the character of the bun - though personally i do find females harder than males to bond.

I have two pairs of bonded boys. Nori and Merri were bonded in their old age so they had mellow (well Nori has always been mellow) and they have both been neutered for years. I think their old age plays a big part in the success of their bonding. Willow and Clover, my other pair are brothers which is again a bonus and they are both laid back too as well as neutered. Its definitely possible but boys can be every bit as vicious as girls. As others have said I think character and temperament make the biggest difference as well as neutering.

Ive got 2 males, 1 female in a trio.
Ozzie is about 4 years old and Stanley is about 10 months. They are ridiculously happy with each other, they play and leap and binky while Twinkle rolls her eyes at them

My two boys were introduced at 7 years old and they've been inseparable ever since, I've never heard of a m/m bond breaking up down the line just because they're boys, it really can happen with any bonded pair/group.

I thought it was that m/m and f/f were harder to bond in the first place than m/f. And as long as all buns are neutered i thought bond break down was just as unlikely in any pairing whether m/m, f/f or m/f?

Oh how cuuuute x
M/f is the usual recommended pairing. M/m is the next easiest and f/f can be more difficult. However there are many successes in all of those pairings. So much depends on the rabbits themselves.
I have a quad made up of two sisters (whose bond is still really good) and two brothers (who fell out for a bit, cos I put them together too soon after neutering and they were still hormonal). The boys are really happy again now.
