Not sure; I guess some of it would depend on the personalities of the rabbits, but I personally would assume they would fight. If you were to let them out together, I would have them separated by a fence or just keep an eye on them(preferably both.)

You might want to try to put their cages together first for a while. Let them get used to each other first. Then try to give them supervised visitation.

Given months they may learn to respect each other. I have rabbits that fought as soon as both were out of cages. After many fights they know they're evenly matched so now they try to avoid each other when both are running free. They are a little scarred but I don't have to stop fights any more.

With two intact bucks, I would think the only question would be, "how many of you will come out of this bleeding; one, two, or all three?"

They say good fences make good neighbors. I think that peace of mind would best be achieved by only letting these boys out, one at a time, or in separate pens (although I did have a young buck that had his tail bitten off by the crank in the cage next door . . . .

yes i think one at a time is the best solusion as i only have one free run
