Any breed and any age neutered male - it's personal choice for the bunnies as to what bun they bond with.

Personally I would wait until she is spayed and healed and her hormone levels have dropped before attempting bonding. :wave:

Agree with above.

Any suitable bunny with the right temperament.

And I'd always wait until your bunny is spayed and healed to ensure any relationship with another rabbits has the best chance of success. Yes people do bond unneutered rabbits but so many things can go wrong and you will need to spay anyway for health reasons.

I bonded Bubbles with Alfie before she was spayed; my intention was to keep them together after the op but they fell out (Alfie was chasing Bubbles around the crate as he knew she wasn't feeling 100%) so I then had to split them and rebond once Bubbles had recovered.

With that in mind, it's not something I would risk again, and would always spay before bonding.
