  1. None, rabbits prefer to be alone
  2. Another neutered, compatible rabbit ✔
  3. Just a mirror in its cage

Why: The Rabbit Welfare Association and Fund says rabbits are highly social and their company should be other rabbits. To live in pairs, rabbits must be neutered. Studies show rabbits value company almost as much as food.

Huh, didn't know that: RWAF gives one rabbit the same minimum enclosure space as a pair.
