Can the rabbits be socialized?
Hi, I'm getting two rabbits soon. I found two rabbits, but they've never met each other.
The female1 year old
The male is about 2 years old.
And they have never seen each other.
If you get them at the same time and they have never seen each other, can you still socialize them?
I will not get the rabbits from the pet store or the breeder.

Hey, I also have two rabbits (males and females) and I also got them from completely different people… They were 7-9 months… That worked great. I think it will work with you too if you make it as good as it is right from the beginning (with the associations) ๐
Thanks for your helpful answer ๐

If you put them in a hopefully big enclosure at the same time, that should work. Problems are more likely when one of the rabbits already considers the enclosure as its “ownness”.
Take a lot of time at the beginning and observe exactly what is happening. A few leaks (Lรถwenzahn and Co.) are very well distracted in disputes.
In any case, you need a minimum of 6sqm walk by living 24 hours a day. Everything else would definitely be too small. Then you need big hides with at least two entrances.
And much time and patience.
That’s the point of a socialization. I don’t understand the question.
