I want to bond my male with a baby

I have a 3 year old boy bunny, that is not fixed and i WILL NOT have it done. he has had play date before that went well. i want to get him a friend, i was thinking of getting a baby boy bunny. they would have their own room so plenty of space, i was just wondering if any one else has DONE OR TRIED this? and how it work out for them

i wanted a girl but i know it would just be to hard and cause to many problems, and i know that two mature males can get territorial.

I have. I had a not neutered male and brought in a baby male. Everything went well until the older one got neutered and the younger one wasn't, then when the baby hit maturity, they started violently fighting, a lot. Ever since I have not been able to re bond them. My advice, get your male neutered, then get a female and spay her. It will be much easier than trying to bond two males, unless both are neutered BEFORE trying to bond.

If the rabbit is going to stay intact, you might be better off getting a kitten (not another rabbit). Cats and rabbits can be "friends", especially if they grow up together.
