hi i have a 5 month old mini lop male on the large side. and a 3 month old mini lop female on the small side.

obviously the male can be neutered now but the female cant be spayed just yet.

so my questions are firstly is it ok for a bigger rabbit to live with a smaller rabbit?

and can they live together when the male is neutered or do i have to wait till both have been 'done'??

thank you xxx

It's okay for a bigger rabbit to live with a smaller rabbit as long as they are not breeding. Sometimes does are territorial, so it might be a good idea to put the buck in the cage first and let him establish his right to it before adding the doe. I suggest you check with your vet to see how long after his surgery you need to wait before trying them together. You will need to keep an eye on them at first to make sure they get along together. In the meantime, if you put their cages side by side they can begin to get acquainted.
