Are both of your rabbits the same gender or different? I would not allow them to get near each other if both are unfixed. Even if both are of the same gender. It can cause huge fights, especially if they are unfixed. Bonding is almost impossible to do if both rabbits are unfixed.

I am glad that you are getting both fixed. It will take a month for the hormones to go down and bonding can be done in neutral territory (like a bathtub).

Keep us updated

Rabbits are a social species. So I think most bunnies would like a companion. You will never know until you try bonding them. It is rare that a bunny simply does not want a companion. Usually it’s more of trying to find the right companion for the picky bunny. lol

Some rabbits form a very strong bond; others can cohabitate but are never really cuddly with each other. Either way, if you are able to bond them, it would be the best for all involved. They would have companionship, you would have one habitat to clean, one feeding/cleaning schedule, AND there would not be a concern as far as exercise space, or a fear of them getting loose and fighting. Definitely give it a try.

I would absolutely try bonding them. Otto never seemed to want a friend but I gave him one anyway. Now to see him snuggle up to his buddy and follow her around I forget that he used to be a loner 😉 Almost all bunnies want a friend on some level, even if they don’t know it yet. Your two might not be the perfect match, but with enough persistence I bet you can get them together.

Yes, it is best to wait a month before introducing them to each other.
the hormones will chill out

I agree with Britt, though you can put their cages near each other now as long as there is some space between them so they can’t bite through the bars.

Side by side cages can be helpful. In 3 weeks you can try switching them between the cages so they get accustomed to each other’s scent. 4 weeks is ideal to wait, but depending on how they are healing and their behavior is, 3 weeks may be okay.
