Hello everyone I’m hoping someone can help me
I have 2 beautiful mini lops, both 4 months old from seperate litters, one male and female.
They have been bonded ever since I got them at 6 weeks. I knew that around 4-5 months they would start sexually maturing and all that fun stuff but I must admit it did slip my mind about separating them until now when I have caught him mounting her. I have separated them immediately into different cages. I called the vet and have booked them in to be fixed, he said usually 5-6 months is ideal but his festivals are visible now. They are booked out until the 19th of December, it being the 6th now. My question is : keeping them seperate until they are fixed will this harm their bond?? Also I understand he can still carry get her pregnant for a month afterwards, so a total of 6 weeks separation. How can I keep them bonded through this time or will they be okay?
Also, if she IS pregnant now, will she be okay to give birth? I am so worried she may pass away if she was to give birth.
Any advice would be appreciated!
