If they're neutered and bonded, yes, they can (of course, all rabbits need to be neutered and bonded, no matter what sex they are). Most people try and get a male and a female though because a male/female pair tends to work better than a male/male pair or female/female pair.

If you get a male and female would they only mate at a certain age?

No, a male and female would need to be neutered to prevent babies. Not to mention health reasons, behavioral reasons, and the fact that any 2 rabbits (male or female) are very likely to fight if they aren't neutered because of raging hormones.
It's easiest and cheapest to go to a rescue because they'll have already neutered, bonded rabbits to choose from. If you buy 2 baby rabbits from a breeder they'll probably have to be separated due to fighting (and will definitely have to be separated if you have a male and female - they can mate at a very young age) and then you'll have to wait til they're old enough to neuter before you can bond them. You can neuter them usually at 3-4 months old for males and 5-6 months for females.

Yes they can, given they're both neutered and bonded properly. I got my boys from a rescue and they were already bonded, so yes two boys can certainly live happily together!

Aw it's ok! You don't need to apologize, I was just confused.
I know it's all probably an overwhelming amount of information to digest as a rabbit newbie though - I research lots of animals way in advance, so I get that - so I can understand if you sometimes ask certain things twice by accident or lose track of replies when you've got a lot of questions. It's just I was starting to think you weren't really listening to anyone.
