Currently in the process of bonding my girlfriends rabbit pepper (neutered male) and my rabbit elly (unspayed female) they actually are getting along great, but even though pepper has been fixed for a month he still humps her crazily, it is getting less and less with each meeting but it seems like after his every say 5 or so mounts elly mounts him. I feel as though he is still hormonal and elly just wants to be the dominant one. Pepper circles elly constantly and that is when most mounting takes place. During mounting both rabbits are very receptive to it. The only way I think I can tell that one is somewhat dominant is elly poops everywhere in the neutral area
But good points are they groom each other alot even though when one asked for grooming it does not happen, they give it when they are ready, both lay down next to each other a lot and eat with each other a fair amount
So experts, how does things sound like they are going?
by the way this picture was taken 1 hour after the official meet, they were doing so well with zero fighting and no hair pulling or boxing I just let them go for 4 hours

Welcome to the forums!
When did you introduce them again after his neuter? Sperm is still viable for 4 weeks after his neuter. If he had any contact with her during that time there’s a chance he could have impregnated her.
My advice would be to wait until 4-6 weeks after your female is spayed to try bonding. What you’re describing could be hormonal or dominance related. There’s no way to know which until both are spayed/neutered and hormone free.
