Quick question - Female spaying

Lillian

How long do you need to wait after spaying before bonding, generally?
I know with boys the vet recommends 6 - 8 weeks, is it the same?
 
I would leave it for at least 2 weeks to allow the Doe to recover from the op' and for the wound to heal. Leaving it a bit longer, say 4 weeks, would also allow her hormones to settle down which may help in the bonding process.
 
If you have the male rabbit done and the female is not done he is still fertile for up to a month so you cant put them together until after that time.
