  I’ll be getting two sibling rabbits soon and I’m just unsure if I need to get a separate litterbox for the two of them.

  Welcome !
  
  What age will they be?
  
  Unless there desexed, you’ll need to get separate everything for them. 2 cages or other habitat. Otherwise you’ll have more baby bunnies then you know what to do with.

  They’ll be around 7 weeks old and not spayed/neutered (will be a buck and a doe). Will I need to double up on everything like litterboxes, water dishes, and hideouts?

  Yep. Once bonded, they could probably share things but they’ll need to be fully separated until then so you’ll need two of everything.

  Will it be okay for them to free roam with my supervision or will I need to let them out in separate ytimes as well? They are still very young so do i need to worry about aggression?

  They need complete seperation once they’re about 12 weeks, so no play time together. At 7 weeks they should be okay together but it’s probably best to separate them from the start but that’s up to

  Would it be a good idea to swap their habitats everyday once I get them? Or should I only be doing that once both are fixed?
