Hi Kelly,Hi everyone! I hope I can get some opinions. I hope I have posted in the correct thread. I am not a rabbit breeder or have an interest in breeding HOWEVER I have one female rabbit and want tp get another one so she is not so lonely, because she is housed outside. I understand that rabbits can or could fight but I am willing to work at socializing them. Question is what would work better a fixed female or a fixed male? She is older; unsure of her age because she was a stray we found. I found a local shelter that has rabbits for adoption and they are all fixed and have had shots. I found one that is a female and looks like her twin lol I know this sounds weird but are rabbits more likely to get along better with one that looks as they do as far as breeds? There is also a cute 1yr old Lionhead male ....but I don't know if a younger rabbit would have more energy and tend to annoy her.
Will fixed males still have the drive to mate?
Thank you...I just want to make the right choice

Thank you, I got a fixed male today! I brought my rabbit to the shelter to meet some rabbits and she did well with NewmanHi Kelly,
Personally, I would go with a fixed male. Females tend to be territorial on good days, so it would be much easier to integrate a female with a male rather than another female. The age doesn't really matter energy-wise. The level of activity is more a personality trait than an age one. Rabbits will hump to establish dominance, it's not just for breeding.
