  Hi! My name is Candle and I have 1 bunny. He’s 1.5 years, neutered and his name is Unibunny. He’s a lop/lionhead cross so one of his ears goes up and one goes down. Which pulls the ear that stays up into the middle-thus creating a unicorn horn. Hence the name
  
  Tomorrow we’re going to get a girlfriend for him! She’s a flemish giant. I don’t know much about her but we’ll be bringing him to meet her to make sure they’re ok. I don’t believe she’s spayed yet but we’ll get right on that. Do you think I should wait to introduce them until afterwards? Anyway excited to meet everyone and learn a lot!

  Hi Candle! Your bunny sounds super-cute =)
  
  I do think you should wait and don’t let them meet “face to face” them until she’s spayed and has healed for 2 weeks (by the the wound should be sufficiently healed). An unspayed doe can be very aggressive and you don’t want them to get off on the wrong foot, it can have a profound adverse effect on their relationship to be.
  
  You can however keep them in the same room so they can smell and see and hear each other. After a couple of days you can start switching their litter-boxes between them.

  Hello Candle and welcome to Binky Bunny! As bam said, definitely keep the bunnies apart if the female isn’t spayed yet. Then wait until after her surgery and recuperation to start the bonding. I have found an x-pen to be very helpful in the bonding process, since you can be in there with the bunnies.
  
  Here are 2 good articles on bonding:
