Ok. I have a 9 month old dwarf lop house rabbit called Ben. He has been neutered and lives in my bedroom primarily and has run of the house, (he seems to hate going outside recently, maybe because of the temprature). He only goes into his crate at night time.
I have recently been wanting to get him a female friend. My first question would be is bonding easier with a youger rabbit (8-10 weeks) or with a more adult rabbit around the same age/older than ben?
I would have two cages in my room but would if be wise to introduce them (if i opt for a younger rabbit who would obviously not been neutered) if the female has yet to be neutered? And after bonding would they be ok living in the same cage even if the female wasn't neutered till the recommended age?
Also I have heard that some female rabbits can be vicious/moody? Ben is extremely friendly and I am worried that I might not be able to cope with a vicious rabbit and I am not really familiar with how females behave if different from a male rabbit. I would like to be aware of some of the common personality attributes.
And how long does bonding primarily last. I know it depends on each rabbit but there must be a sort of medium.
I think thats it for now lol I will probably be back with more questions. But thankyou so much for any help that can be given
