I keep my in the same cage till they start fighting. Often rabbits will tolerate each other if the cage is large enough.
Rabbits that get along in a group will not get along with a new comer. They may attack the new rabbit or the new one will attack them.
Most of my are in 2's and 3's of the...

I've lost rabbits to raccoons. They reach in and grab hold of a rabbit and eat it through the wires. I find the rabbits partly eaten half outside the cage through the wires and the uneaten part still in the cage.
I have no problem cutting up a dead rabbit. It's killing it that bothers me. I've found shooting it in the back of the head with a pellet rifle the easiest for me. It just drops dead with no fuss unless your shot is a little off.

Kits in a good nest stay toasty even in single digit low temperatures.
I don't have Angoras but I used to play with baby rabbits in bed. Seems that many of them would pee or poop after digging. Now I play with them outdoors.
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.
