I am gonna buy two rabbits next year, which I am very excited about but, I already have a rabbit ( house rabbit ) and, will they get along so far Lola is okay alone but with two other rabbits will she be okay or should i not get rabbits to protect her? she is a lovely rabbit, she don't bite or get scared so I am not sure what to do

The Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund has lots of good info on things like this :) Rabbits do best in pairs as they are social animals and would never live alone in the wild. The best combo is a spayed female and neutered male, so providing Lola is already spayed there's no reason why she wouldn't bond with a neutered male if introduced properly. Trios can be tricky so if it's your first time bonding you'd be best of getting just one other rabbit, and a rescue will already have him neutered and vaccinated and usually can re-home throughout Covid with appropriate measures in place.
 
A friend for your bunny is a great idea. Lola is more likely to bond with a neutered boy. Has she been spayed? I wouldn't get 2 personally, bonding groups is much harder than 2 rabbits & has less chance of success. If you reach out to Rabbit Rescues in your area they can help you find the right rabbit for Lola, already vaccinated, neutered & ready to make friends

Yes she has, I was going to get a male rabbit because I know no babies will be made, she does need a friend

Hello,
I will get just one for now as you said, their a handful Lola is just right, but a trio is bloody hard work :) but, yes she is spayed so I am not as worried in that aspect, it's just will she get along with another rabbit
