  I’m afraid not. 2 intact bucks are known to fight viciously.
  
  They are also both large breeds and will need a lot more room individually.
  
  I would suggest waiting on getting a second rabbit until after your current one is a bit older. He’s a “teenager” and around this time, one is a handful! Their hormones can make them a challenge. Are you experiencing any of that yet?

  No. If you want them to share a cage, youd want to buy a new cage after they are both neutered have have successfully bonded. The cage is your current buns territory. Nothing good would come out of putting a new bun in there

  It is generally thought that it’s easier to bond a neutered male to a spayed female, but you can bond same sex rabbits. They must be spayed or neutered first, and given time to recover and flush all the hormones from their bodies, which takes around a month.
  
  Here are 2 good articles on bonding:

  That’s a great looking cage, I’ve not seen one like that before. Rabbits love levels. I bet he sits up the top a lot.

  I really like your cage set up! Did you buy it that way or build it yourself?
