brothers together?
Will brothers/ boys the same age, get along living together?

Re: brothers together?
My understanding is that having two males living together is never recommended.
That's not to say it never works.
Hopefully someone with firsthand experience will be able to give you better advice

Re: brothers together?
If they have been together from birth and never separated, neutered as early as possible then it can be successful. The key is to not have girls about. Boys are likely to fight each other for a doe, even if they can only smell her from the garden next door.

Re: brothers together?
I have heard of it but we have ended up separating all our boys, even ones who had been together from birth. We do have girls around though, so Cheryl is probably right

Re: brothers together?
Depends entirely on the temperament of the rabbit. I've known a few people with groups of several males with females, two males and a female etc.
I have two brothers who were only neutered at a year old (now 2 years) and they are extremely close. I only got them when they were one year old so not entirely sure if they had lived together unneutered, which is most definitely not recommended. They definitely had play time together and got on well. I kept them separate until after their neuter and they have always spent much of their time snuggling and grooming. Out of interest they have a doe in the next hutch and it doesn't seem to have bothered them.
