I'm planning on adopting a spayed doe to keep my rabbit [Earnest] company.

First though Earnest has to be neutured. I know he'll still be fertile for around 6 weeks but as the doe will be neutered babies won't be a problem

So how long should I wait til I adopt? Are bucks still horny in this six week period? I don't want him hasseling his new friend. maybe I should just wait i until he stops circling us!!


I've been sussing out the rabbits at the local shelter and am impatient - They're so cute.

Though maybe I should hold out since after that there will be no more new bunny additions for a long long time.
 
It takes a few months for the hormones to go down, even when they're not fertile, however the mounting is more to do with dominance so it's their respective personalities that will make or break the pairing.

When he's stopped circling would be a good idea, but preferably take him to choose a girl at the rescue - it's a neutral place for him, and trying to make a bonding work at home, when they don't like each other isn't much fun.

good luck :)
