Just realised my dwarf lop doe is a boy!

If I was in your shoes I would get the male neutered ASAP, wait at least a month to see how they settle and then reassess the situation. You will then have a clearer picture about how they are together.

You will also need to assess when the accomodation you use is big enough.
 
As they are happily bonded it would be a shame to seperate them, but it would prob be a good idea to get 'her' neutered or hormones may cause them to fight.
If they stay bonded together, you will have a happy pair of male buns, which I would think very carefully and take advice from the bonding pros before upsetting with a ladybun.

Sexing mistakes seem to be quite commonly made - the cause of many unwanted litters!!!

They look quite contented in your siggy!
 
Thanks,
They seem to get on well together, so i will probably just get him neutered to prevent fighting. Its a good job the Netherland Dwarf is quite laid back then.
I think there would be enough space for a ladybun if i did get one as they have constant access to 4 X 5 foot shed attached to a 4 X 6 run, with occasional supervised access to the garden. Just out of intrest, is that big enough for 3? (Although I may leave it at two anyway)
 
If they are both nethies and a new bun was also a small one you should have enough space for 3 buns.

An additional thought is that you can seriously enhance the space in a shed with the addition of shelves and cubby holes for the buns. Helen 'The Duchess' has done some wonderful things with the interior of a shed. I think Jeremy as well has also made some interesting interiors as well.
