What breeds of rabbits make the best pets?

I'm interested in having a few pets rabbits. Two would be as many as I could have, and would love to be able to keep them together in the same cage. Also, for keeping two rabbits in the same cage, how large should it be? I really fell in love with Netherland Dwarves and Mini Lops, and Jersey Woolys. They are so cute! But do they have good personalities? Would it be safe to keep one of each breed in the same cage or do the different breeds not get along?What breeds of rabbits make the best pets?Rabbits can only be kept together if they have been together since birth. Even then once they reach maturity they can turn on each other and injury and even death can occur.

The best rule to follow is one rabbit=one cage.

Only rabbits that are the same sex and from the same litter can be housed together and then only until they reach 6 months of age.

Breed has nothing to do with them getting along, rabbits don't know breed. they only know a strange rabbit is invading my territory.

Just remember if you get 2 rabbits of the opposite sex they will produce babies eventually if housed together.

Again the best rule to follow is each rabbit has it's own cage.What breeds of rabbits make the best pets?You can definitely keep two different breeds together. You'd be surprised to see how many people have bonded say a 15 pound flemish giant with a 4 pound dwarf rabbit.

I adopted an I have an 7 1/2 pound English Angora (who's age is unknown) and a 4 1/2 pound 6 year old Lionhead. It took about a month to bond them but now they will not leave each other.



For size of what rabbit to get, it really depends on how big your cage would be. I don't cage mine because they're amazing with their litter box and aren't destructive.



I had a netherland dwarf rabbit that I tried to bond with my angora and she was VERY feisty and bit and chewed up my carpet and even my walls! I have seen very docile dwarfs though. My lionhead and angora are very calm and laid back but it really depends on the individual personalities. Here is a link to show different rabbit breeds and some characteristics associated with their breed.
