Can i introduce a male to my exsisting male?

[school]

I have a 6month male rabbot already and i want to get another one to keep him company. Will this cause major problems or will it be ok?

Thanks

Unless you plan on getting them fixed yes it will cause problems. Rabbits aren't overly social in the wild and generally keep to themselves, males often fight for dominance and for a female in heat.
Once they reach sexual maturity they will fight, if you want to get another male you will need a new cage, and either get them both fixed and do a very slow gradual introduction or just keep them seperate, bunnies do not need company !

if you mean rabbit instead of rabbot, i hear that what you do is keep both of them in separate cages, but put the cages together so that they can smell each other. if they don't get along being in separate cages, then they definitely won't get along in the same cage.

don't think that's a great idea...unless they are both fixed.
males will fight
some times when they are litter mates they will be ok, but even then its a gamble.
if you are determined, just make sure to let them get used to each other in separate cages and take it really slow at first.

good luck!!

As long as there aren't any females around they should be fine together.

Just make sure you have somewhere for the new rabbit to live for a few days, and introduce them for short times on neutral ground (in a run or your yard), not in the hutch.

You could always get one or both of them neutered too.
