Hi everyone,
I have a giant continental buck and i am looking for a friend for him, I was just wondering do I have to get a same sized rabbit (giant). I would prefer to get a smaller size than giant like a English Spot breed. Is this a wrong thing to do??
Many Thanks xx

Not at all, size doesn't seem to matter when looking for a rabbit partner for an existing bun

Hi I'm sure someone on here had a giant and nethie so in the bunny world size doesn't matter

Welcome to RU! I'm sure your buck will very much appreciate a friend. A lot of people feel male / female matches are best. Both buns will obviously need neutering if they haven't been already about 6 weeks before introductions. Personalities are the only really significant factor, size won't matter. In my (somewhat limited experience - I've only bonded 5 buns) the best way to work out a good potential match is to discuss suitable wives with a local rabbit rescue & see if they can set up a date on neutral turf. I think this initial meeting is a really good indicator of how likely buns are likely to get on. Most rescue buns are already neutered & vaccinated too. Good luck

I have a giant and a dwarf lop together. And I have a french lop with a dutch. Size doesn't matter they all get along just the same!

I've been thinking about this but I've heard about the smaller rabbit getting hurt/killed by the giant?

that shouldn't happen if they are properly bonded

Moley and Poppy been together for 2 and half years. Money gets a bit excited at feeding time but he somehow knows where Poppy is and even in his excitement, at the last minute jumps over her rather landing on her.
Here is an idea of size difference
