I've just sent a reply- thanks for the idea about RSPCA Eve.
A bit rubbish and not very technical, but hopefully it'll be useful:
Hello
How old are your two rabbits? If they are over 3 months there is a strong possibility that the doe is already pregnant. They are pregnant for one month, and the buck needs to have been removed before she gives birth, or they will mate again straight away.
In terms of neutering, if you are on a low income then the PDSA may be able to help you. Here's one in Kent, but if its not near enough to you i'd give them a ring to find one a bit closer:
PDSA PetAid hospital
Campus Way
Gillingham Business Park
Gillingham
Kent
ME8 0RR
Tel: 01634 376347
Website:
www.pdsa.org.uk
Or, its not well publicised, but the RSPCA can often help with low cost neutering:
KENT (Maidstone): RSPCA Mid Kent, Maidstone & District ~ low cost neutering and assisted veterinary treatment at a weekly clinic for those on benefits or a low income. 72-74 Wheeler Street, Maidstone, Kent. Tel: 01622 812195. Website:
www.midkentrspca.com
You could try this as well, worth a call:
KENT (Canterbury): Lord Whisky Low Income Veterinary Clinics: Wealden Woodland Forest Park, Herne Common (Monday and Friday 3 - 4 pm) and Lord Whisky Centre, Rhodes Minnis (Tuesday and Thursday 2 - 3 pm), Tel: 01303 862622 for details, or visit:

If none of these places can help i would call round other vets in the area- the price can vary hugely, but unfortunately it does tend to be more in the south. If you can get to the midlands, this place is very cheap for both vaccinations and neutering:

Here is a list of rescue centres in Kent also:

If you need more advice, the forum on this website is excellent:
www.rabbitrehome.org.uk
(also if you need to rehome possible babies you can list them)
For the hutch/cage...have you thought about looking on ebay? Or freecycle? Freecycle is a webiste where people give away and ask for things, for free- there are several groups in Kent:

Please be wary of the kind of hutch people may give you though...would be horrible for them to be stuck in a 3ft one.
Hope this helps
