2. For same gender rabbits, will they fight with each others?
Fighting is more to do with personality than gender. Yes, rabbits do have personalities, just like any other animal.
You can have mixed gender rabbits fighting because they just don’t get along. You can also have same gender rabbits living in peace because they do get along well. Neutering and spaying will reduce the level of aggression, so that’s another reason to neuter/spay.
3. How to toilet trained rabbits?
Generally, they will pick one or two spots and always go back to the same spots. So all you have to do is put a litter tray in the spot for them. What can help is if you put some tissue paper which is soaked in their urine in the litter tray. They will smell it and usually realise/remember that’s where they are supposed to go.
The exception is when they are going through puberty ( 3 – 6 months). Then they will be spraying urine everywhere. This behaviour usually stops after maturity or after they have been neutered/spayed.
The most important thing to remember is that you must never, ever use violence against a rabbit. They respond to positive re-inforcement, like being given something tasty when they do something right. If you use violence (negative re-inforcement), they will not understand why they are being hurt, and will continue to do whatever it is they are doing – but they will remember that you are hurting them and fear you.
There are a few articles on toilet training in the earlier link. Worth reading.
