Males tend to just dig tiny in a spot a tiny bit while spraying urine just to mark those spots for them. If you are considering getting more rabbits though, a female is the way to go. Although that is still no guarantee that they will get along. Take it from me. lol. Bunnikins and Thumper were both female rabbits. (See siggy for pics) and they were mortal enemies. One day thumper ripped bunnikins lip open through a seperation fence. We couldn't even let them go for a run at the same time. It was too dangerous.
That is not necessarily true. Miss Hoppy is a female, she is a house bunny (litterbox trained), and never, ever digs. We have had her outside many many many times over the years, presented her with nice soft dirt, normal dirt, snow - she is just not interested in digging whatsoever. And she is perfectly happy as a lone bunny. She is spayed, maybe that make a difference, but all rabbits who are not going to be bred should be spayed because of the high incidence of ovarian cancer in unspayed female rabbits.
