Hazel gave you good advice. I wanted to add one thing. Even if the rabbits are the same gender, since they are 11 weeks old, you will soon need to separate them until they have been spayed or neutered. Once rabbits hit puberty (at around 3 months of age) their hormones can make them aggressive, which can lead to fighting and injuries, so they should not be together at that age, whether they are the opposite sex or the same sex. After they are spayed or neutered and a few weeks have passed, you can start rebonding them.
