Would there be territory issues between a buck and doe who would share a backyard (but not at the same time)? Particularly if we bred them later on? They would have their separate cages but allowed free time in the back (separately).

Thoughts? If I decide to breed them I wouldn't want to have fur n blood flying. Obviously, I'd bring the doe to the buck's cage for mating, but was wondering about sharing a backyard (separately).
 
I don't see a problem.
Many people who are trying to get their rabbits to mate actually swap the buck and does cages, intentionally putting them in each others territory.

The only advice I have is to quarantine your future buck for about a month...and maybe treat him for cocci anyway.

Once that stuff is in the soil...you won't be able to get rid of it.
 
Yes there's no problem at all as long as they sleep in their own cages. As time goes by they will get used to each other and become buddies.
