Another Bunny?

Hi
Presently I have a mini-rex who is approximatley 9 months old. We are thinking about getting a second bunny to keep him company the few hours we are not home but I have many concerns or questions.

First, our bunny is male. Should I get another male?
Should I get another mini-rex or would a netherland dwarf be ok?

My biggest concern is in the training of a new bunny. Our bunny uses the litter box without difficulty - will the new bunny use a litter box that another bunny uses?

Also, our bunny has learned when he can't chew on in the house - baseboards, some furniture etc. There are still a lot of things he nibbles at that we catch him on on occassion. With a new bunny will I have a whole new list of things that i am taping up or bunny protecting?
