Bonded bunnies neutering?

Ok I have two girls Hunni and Missi who are yet to be neutered they are just coming up to a year. I am scared about doing this as I am worried they will not survive or they will loose their bond.

Is is best to get them done at the same time? What can I do to make sure they will be ok.

I have been putting this off for so long but if I have to get it done I want to do it sooner rather then later!
 
Hi. Get them done at the same time. That way they can go together, share the same crate at the surgery and come home to recover together. The bond won't be broken and they will provide each other with comfort.
 
ARC keep all their bonded bunnies together when they visit the vet for any visit from vaccinations to operations. We believe keeping them together helps them recover quicker and prevents the breaking of the bond. I have never had an issue with doing this.

Obviously if one was being agresive or continually humping the other I would consider separating them, as yet I have not had to do this.
 
I got Harley done yesterday, It is the first time he has been away from Honey, I was a bit scared of putting them back together incase thier bond may of broke with him smelling like the vets, They could not stop licking each other, They wont let each other out thier sights now lol :D
