Advice on Neutering

I have two young lionheads Charlie and Poppy (male and female).

Charlie is 14 weeks old and Poppy is 10 weeks old.

My question is when should I separate them - Charlie is currently showing no interest in Poppy 'in that way' :oops:and I am keeping an eye on them.

I'm sure I had my old bun Sammy neutered when he was 6 months old but it was 10 years ago and can't quite remember.

I luckily have the facilities to keep them separate.

I'm not sure but I would just seperate them now anyways. You can get boys neutered from 3 month and girls from 4 I think.
 
I think you should seperate them now to be on the safe side. Boys can be neutered as soon as their plums drop, which could be any time soon. Alfie was neutered at about 16 weeks. :)
 
I'd definately seperate them now.

Charlie is likely to be fertile and in a couple of weeks its possible Poppy could be too.
