  You can bond two boys yes, although you should get them speutered anyway, to cut down on spraying and smelliness, and to have better litter training.

  The others on here have a much better idea than I do about bonding… But we had 2 males in together and they bonded great! but one was a really easy going bunny and the other was real young. We got them spuetered within a few weeks, but they were getting along great before that.
  They are much more fun when they are speutered though. Much more friendly, and not as frustrated with the world

  Don’t put them together immediately, do short sessions first, like 10 or so minutes. Some bonds can be instant, but others can take months, so you need to have separate housing for them til then.

  Before bonding, do NOT leave them alone together for any length of time. You need to supervise every interaction, and separate them afterwards in their own areas where they cant get to each other. Each day you put them together for a session, and separate them again afterwards.

  Theres a link to all the bonding info here on BB. I read and reread it all maybe 20 or 30 times recently in expectation of a bun to bond with my girl Monkey. its great info, and invaluable for soemone new to bonding. I suggest readign it thouroughly, and to check out the links at the bottom of the page as well.
  
  Good luck!

  Both buns must be spayed/neutered before bonding, regardless of what sex they are. It is easier to bond a male and female (both altered of course) but bonding two neutered males is possible too.
  
  Like Monkeybun said, you have to have two separate cages for them and you only put them together for short SUPERVISED sessions, maybe about 20-30 minutes at first, and you can increase the time as they get better together. Do not be surprised if they fight at first, this is common.
  
  Expect bonding to go on for a couple months with daily sessions before they can safely be housed together. Another very real possibility is that they may never bond. Would you be able and willing to keep them separately forever in case they never get along?

  i would be willing to adopt another bunny but i am not even sure if i am going to get Frapp a mate.The cage he is in is a good size,not big but not small and in the center you can divide it into 2 (outdoor bunny)there are 2 automatic water feeders that go on every day and i feed him manually.each automatic watr feeder is on each side and i thought if i get another bunny to adopt a dwarf or mini so he has more room and as for my harlequin Frappichino will supersize his house(he is a big bunnay!!) i dont even know yet i still have to convince my parents i am going to look at the habitat section
