First answer: yes you can they get along very well, it's very unusual for them not too.
A different opinion: Actually, rabbits often don't get along with each other, at least not right away. You can't just put two rabbits in a cage together and expect them to get along.
Before you keep two rabbits together, you have to "bond" them. Sometimes bonding goes very quickly, just a couple of weeks; other times, it can take months.
Generally speaking, the rabbits have to be spayed before they're bonded. Two female rabbits raised together from the same litter may get along fine without being spayed; otherwise, they probably won't. Spaying also has behavioural benefits and health benefits (particularly regarding ovarian cancer, which is very common in young female rabbits).

A male rabbit that is separated from females will mate everytime a female is put into the same cage as that male...hence the saying "screw like rabbits" when people do a lot of "screwing"
No. A Cottontail rabbit is not a rabbit at all. It is a Hare, a cousin to our Domestic rabbits. In-fact if you put a female Hare in a Male rabbits cage, or visa versa they can't breed. They look they same but they are not the same thing.
All ten rabbits will keep running in the same direction, circling the carrot. If they maintain the same speed and direction, they will form a continuous loop around the carrot in the cage.
If they are, they'll breed, they you get more rabbits. THen they'll breed. Not a good situation.
It is not common for female rabbits to try to mate with other female rabbits as they typically only exhibit mating behavior with males. However, in some cases, female rabbits may display mounting behavior as a display of dominance or establishing hierarchy within their group.

The mother rabbit will produce milk to feed her babies and if you watch would will be able to identify which female they are sucking on.
Lots of people say rabbits can be kept in the same cage as guinea pigs but it's very dangerous and should never happen. Even if your rabbit is friendly or just a bunny the guinea pig will get bullied. This will also lead to lack of the space and the guinea pig may be stepped on or crowded in the cage. Rabbits need a bigger cage, a bigger run and different medicine and vaccinations which affects the guinea pigs well being. If you are looking for a partner for your piggy try another lonely female or a neutered male. But guinea pigs should always be kept with another guinea pig and no rabbits!
Male and female rabbits should always be separated except if you are wanting to breed them.
Yes You can keep Rabbits and Guinea pigs can live in the same cage
Yes if they don't fight to the death.
yes they do. I have 1 that does the same exact thing.
Not a good idea. They will tolerate their mates pretty well for awhile but are very territorial and will fight with strange rabbits, especially males. Males and females should be separated form each other by 3 months and by 4 months EVERYONE should have their own cage. The males should probably have their own cage at 3 months to prevent fighting.
You can pair up pet rabbits. It is best not to have two males in the same cage. Either get two females, or a male and a female. Having the rabbits spayed and neutered will increase the chances that they will get along. Keep a close eye on them for the first several days, and introduce them slowly.
No. It is not ok to have them in the same cage, as rabbits have very strong legs, and can very easily kick a guinea pig and kill it.
yes but put up a divider to eliminate competition
