Do I need to worm my bunny???? Also, how long after neutering can I introduce another bunny and does the second bunny also need to be neutered? Pickle is male and I want a lady bunny for him.

I would neuter bunny and as soon as he's healed up - 10 days or so, he could be bonded with a spayed bunny, if you look in rescue centres you'll be able to find a spayed bun and they'll help with bonding. If you need to spay your bun he'll need to be kept away until he's firing blanks, not sure how long that is but I'm sure someone will be along soon to tell you. Some people successfully bond a neutered male with an unspayed female but girls can be very territorial and hormonal
Neutered males can still get intact girls pregnant up to six weeks. I think the actual length of time is usually less, but six weeks is the ultimate safe period. If you haven't yet got the girlie he is going to live with I'd wait just to be on the safe side. You can pair him up with an unneutered girl but getting your girl spayed is better for her both hormonally and health wise and this being the case it is recommended you keep a newly spayed female away from other rabbits for ten days to give her time to heal. So, if you can, I think the best option would be to get an already spayed female so you don't have to worry about keeping them apart for this length of time if you don't have the space. I don't know what length of time you need to keep a newly neutered male away from a spayed female is as kayjay reckons ten days but my vet said three?
