Babies cant bond. Youre risking a bloody fight and possible death by keeping them together without the baby being neutered/spayed and healed first. The chance of fighting is tripled if the older bun is not yet neutered/spayed either.

Keeping them apart not only ensures their safety, but allows them to eat their own food. Its important a baby rabbit eat alfalfa hay as it helps them grow, likewise, alfalfa hay is not good at all for rabbits over six months old.

Mikeys point is that you actually can’t bond babies , as in “baby bond ” is different to adult bond – babies will get in with anyone in most cases but it’s not a “bond”. Mikey doesn’t mean they can’t bond because you won’t be able to get them to be together now – but that they actually won’t be bonded. Bonding cannot happen until your baby has reached maturity as their personalities change when that time occurs- and even then they need desexed at that point to prevent fighting before you bond them. Right now the baby has baby bonded to your older one – at any point maturity can kick in and fighting can break out suddenly – sometimes those first fights are so unexpected and so viscous – it can lead to stitches or even death – and it can cause a unfixable grudge between the bunnies meaning they never bond. It’s a common thing for people to see their bunnies as babies getting on and think they are bonded and all is ok until one day when disaster happens. It’s best to seperate them until she is desexed and allow a good 6weeks at least after that for hormones to die down before attempting pre bonding- there are plenty here who can offer great advice on how to pre bond and bond

I know it is very difficult to bond baby rabbits and adult rabbits but I’ve taken all the safety precautions. I’d kept them apart for about 4 weeks for the baby rabbit to adjust before bonding them. My adult rabbit grooms the baby rabbit and I’ve never experienced any problems with them so far.
P.S. My adult rabbit is neutered

Babies form friendships but not life long bonds because when hormones kick in, they behave instinctively which can be aggressive. It’s best to keep them apart as Mikey said You could always split your home in two so they can both free roam their half – that’s what I did!
