I have already got a female rabbit but i really want to get another, and i would love to get a female rex.
Will my other rabbit be ok with a rex that might be a bit bigger than her?
or should i get a different type of rabbit?

First of all, she needs to be spayed. Rabbits are very social animals and enjoy the company of another rabbit. (Some rabbits are exceptions). The bun you introduce her to will also need to be spayed or neutered. When you already have a bun, the best thing you can do is go to a rabbit rescue. They buns may be more expensive, but if you include the cost of the spay/neuter, it really isn't. Generally the best bonding pair is between a neutered male and spayed female. Sometimes 2 spayed females do well together. With going to a rabbit rescue, they will be able to help you choose a rabbit that is appropriate for your bun and allow them to meet on neutral territory. They can also give you tips to help your bonding be a success. Here is a list of rescues by state: http://www.thebunnystore.com/rabbitrescue.htm
Rabbits do not care about size or breed. The rescue I belong to has a bonded pair that consists of a 3 lb dwarf and a 12lb Fleming. I guess he likes the BIIIIIIIIIIG Girls. It is the cutest thing you ever did see!
Good luck to you, email me if you have any questions. And here is a bunny basics care guide: http://www.rabbitsanctuary.org/pdf/BUNBASICS-GLRS.pdf

I have found that it all depends on teh rabbit. I have some that I can introduce a new rabbit two and others that will fight to the death. Doesn't matter if it's the same breed or not. I suggest it's best not to keep them together
