Do male rabbits fight over a doe?
Yes, they can and will fight if the female feels threatened. They will always fight if the doe is bred or does not want to be bred. Does can and will castrate a buck and have been known to kill bucks upon occasion. That is why you never put rabbits together to breed and walk away.
Do rabbits like to live alone or with other rabbits?
Rabbits are social animals: they enjoy company, and they benefit from living with other rabbits. However, you can't just throw two or more rabbits together and expect them to get along. Rabbits might love or hate each other for individual reasons, just like humans. And if rabbits aren't spayed/neutered, they're very likely to either fight or breed. Never let rabbits fight: not only can it lead to physical injury (even a small cut can turn into a big abscess, and a bad fight can be fatal), but fighting is emotionally damaging for rabbits (leading to behavioural problems down the road). Think long and hard before letting your rabbits breed: after all, there are many rabbits in shelters waiting to be adopted, and many of those shelters kill their rabbits if they aren't adopted in time, so does the world really need your rabbit to breed? Before they can live together, rabbits must be "bonded," which means they love each other and can be trusted not to fight. The bonding process can take a long time and require a lot of patience. See the related question below for more details about bonding. A rabbit doesn't need to live with other rabbits in order to be happy, but a single rabbit does need a lot of attention from it's human companions. Rabbits are social animals and they need social interaction every day.

Can you have two female rabbits living together?
no as you would need a male to get the female pregnant but you should never keep 2 females together unless you know they will not fight. Never keep rabbits together, they will fight as they are very territorial. They will eventually fight AND it will be ugly.

What if two female rabbits keep biting each other?
If your rabbits are biting each other, they must be separated. Rabbits can't be allowed to fight: not only can it traumatize them and affect their personality, but it can endanger their health (and your pocketbook) -- even the smallest cut can lead to a big abscess, which is a serious problem and can be difficult to heal. In most cases, rabbits must be spayed/neutered before allowed to live together -- otherwise, their hormones will cause them to fight when they live in close quarters. See the related question below about rabbits fighting for more information and helpful links.
You have two male rabbits who get along great if you get a female rabbit will the male rabbits fight over her or hurt her?
Yes, it is quite possible this will happen. However, if the introductions are handled carefully and over a suitable period of time it is possible for all 3 to get along just fine. You will need to keep a very close eye on them in the early stages to make sure no-one gets hurt. For more info on bonding rabbits see the related link
