        Hi! Right now I have a male neutered Holland lop and I am going to add an angora soon. Would it be possible to bond aneutered male and in tact female, or should I keep them separated until I get her spayed? Also I read bonding a female to a male in easier is this true? Would two males not bond well?

            You should keep them separately until the female has been spayed (and another 4-6 weeks after the surgery to allow her time to heal and hormones to die down).

            I was told by rescues that male to female bonding is the easiest. However speaking from my own experience, it is more dependent on how their personalities fit (two dominant rabbits may not get along for example). I had a bonded pair of boys. Currently struggling to bond my boy to a bunny girl. The best way for you to see if a pairing would work is to take your current rabbit on bunny dates and let him pick his own partner.

              Good idea. I personally prefer boy buns just because in my experience they have been a lot more loving than girl buns but I want whatever will be easiest for my current bun.

                It is generally thought that it’s easiest to bond a neutered male to a spayed female. Over the years, I have bonded 5 pairs of rabbits. They were all male/female pairs and they were all easy bonds. It is certainly possible to bond same sex rabbits, but it may not be quite as easy.
