Alfie (who is 6 months old) was Neutered 5 weeks and 2 days ago now.

I have a 15 week old bun (lotte) which I would like to bond with him, but she is unneutered.

Is it ok to bond them? assuming there is no chance she can get pregnant.

Do you think it is a good idea now, before Lotte gets her hormones, she will be getting speyed.

Im a bit worried, when she goes off to be speyed, they migth fight when she gets back.

i belive he can still get her pregnant at the moment i think it would be ebst to wait after she is spayed until you bond them
 
you can try it but if it does work out then make sure when she goes in for spey that they both go in together else you will likely have to re bond from the start also make sure its been at least 8weeks wince his neuter else she could get pregnant i believe. if they dont bond now wait till she speyed give it a month to allow hormones to settle then go from there.good luck x
 
Ah ok, 8 weeks thanks.

The only reason I want to bond them now is because the absolutely adore each other. Lay next to each other with the run betwen them. Rub noses, lick each other. (They havent actually been together, just through the run).

And she cant be speyed for another 2 n half months (when she will be 6 months old)
 
I'm getting my does spayed tommorow, they are 4 months old and the vets are happy to do it. Also I had my buck spayed last week and the vet told me that after 4 weeks he would be unable to make the girls pregnant. I would speak to your vet as there seems to be a lot of conflicting information.
 
A lot of vets go more on size of female buns rather than age. Most will spay a bunny that's 1kg plus ... so worth asking. Probably best to get her spayed, let her recover for 10-14 days and then bond them. Good luck - and make sure you post pics!! x
