There are various scenarios
1- Unspayed Doe may be very aggressive to spayed Doe
2-Unspayed Doe may keep trying to hump spayed Doe
3-If Spayed Doe tries to show dominance by humping unspayed Doe then unspayed Doe is very likely to have pseudopregnancies. This could include unspayed Doe pulling fur from spayed Doe to use in nest. Spayed Doe may take exception to this leading to fighting
4- Not totally impossible for both to get along fine, but unlikely.
her old owner has gone from 'is spayed' to 'I can't remember') :roll:
To be perfectly honest, if an owner 'can't remember' if she's been spayed or not, I would lay money on the fact that she isn't. It's not uncommon for owners who are giving bunnies up to not commit to saying 'no she isn't' for certain, they seem to feel that saying yes or being vague about it is the right thing to say. People try and tell you what they think you want to hear rather than the truth.
If the plan is to introduce these two at some point, I would suggest booking both in and asking your vet to clip the underside of the 'possibly' spayed one first to look for a scar; they may also be able to use ultrasound to check. Even two spayed does in close proximity in their own territories will often show aggression towards each other, so I don't think you could use their behaviour as a guide.
Good luck xx

Hahahahahaah I like a lot the 3rd scenario...all sounds so funny!
Wouldn't be funny at all if it happened.
oh come on you can't say that getting a phantom pregnancy from a spayed rabbit isn't at least a little bizarre. It sounds as if two impossibles make a possible option
And we have a forum to discuss and prevent things like that. so please don't get it so serious I would never put such a couple together just to observe the effect and laugh at it...
I had a foster doe here last week ( suspect unspayed) and my spayed female ( who has never shown any aggression and was oblivious to V when bonding ) ran at her and attacked the mesh!
Oooh, that's interesting. Perhaps it is affecting Poppy's behaviour then. When I tried bonding them despite Poppy clearly having doninance over the other two she still wasnt happy with sonething so perhaps having Pixie spayed (if she isnt already) *could* make a difference.
