Sorry, I don't have any experience of this. I'd say though that it's best to wait another week, just to give her a chance for the wounds to heal, and for her to feel happier and more comfortable. Even though he's been neutered the residual hormones will probably kick in, and he'll mount her. Obviously you don't want her to be hurt or frightened!

I'm sure my vet told me it can take 10 weeks for the neutering in male buns to take full effect?? So even though the female has been done too and i would imagine that would take effect instantly i think if the male is still hormonal and wanting to hump the female then it would be a good idea to keep them apart for longer in case he injures her.
A male is still fertile for up to 6 weeks after neuter, but if female is done, then you are safe anyway.
As far as how soon - I generally make sure bun has had final check-up a week or so after & all stitches have been removed/scar is healing well
Both buns can remain hormonal for several weeks after, so if it's a new bonding you may want to wait a bit if you expect problems

It is just like a cat or dog getting a medical procedure so they can't have babies any more. It costs about the same as it does for small dogs or cats. You need to call up a vet in your area and find one that knows how to do this to rabbits. Ask them
