too cute

Nutmeg. Bunny looks like a Nutmeg to me. *snuggle snuggle*

or even just Meg. She is MEGa cute by the way. tehe What about Sienna? Not a spice but a reference to colour… I had chickens named Saffron and Sienna once. I can’t recall if Marlee is spayed yet. Just super supervised time together should be ok. How old is this one? So exciting bringing newbie home.

Oh, ok then. Some have done this. It just means when the young one hits puberty, the bond may be challenged and you have to separate then rebond. This mightn’t happen though so it’s up to you. Post op the bunny may have to be separated from the other, so if they bond before – keep that in mind. You may have to house them really close during that time so they don’t miss each other too much. But certainly, play time together would be ok at the moment – just watch for excessive mounting and headmounting.

I like Nutmeg, which can be for either gender. Nickname could be Nutty Meg. What a cutie pie.
I think keeping them side by side is actually a slow start to the bonding. Have you decided on neutral territory for them to start in? (bathroom or tub? Hallway?)
One month past neuter is safe, but only just. If you feel you want to wait a little longer it won’t do any harm. Of course, if it turns out to be 2 girls it won’t matter LOL! Also a little boy who hasn’t reached puberty yet is a bit safer as well, but you never know when boys become men.

I don’t think boys become men, they just become bigger boys. *sighs at hubby making fart noises*

lol

Sounds like Marlee is jealous! She probably doesn’t want to share you with anyone I myself generally don’t start bonding until both of the bunnies are fixed, just because I don’t want to have to re-bond after the neutering, or when the baby grows up and challenges the bond, but I would say it is up to you, as long as they are closely supervised since your little baby is so tiny – (and so cute!)
