Can you keep boy and girl bunnies together?

Can you introduce a baby rabbit to an older rabbit?

Once an intact baby bunny hits puberty, he or she can undergo serious behavioral changes and make life difficult for the older rabbit.

Can a female bunny kill a male bunny?

At what age do rabbits calm down?
