  If he had the correct end, then yes it is long enough. They need to be kept separate until you have them both fixed.

  Yep, please seperate them and get them fixed.
  
  Baby rabbits can be incredibly time consuming and expensive.

  Um… I’m confused. Why wait for her to get pregnant before having them fixed? You don’t know yet if she’s pregant, so you might as well get them both fixed now, so that you can avoid accidental pregnancy. At least the male…if you’re concerned that the female might already be pregnant (although I’m guessing a vet would be able to determine pregnancy, so then you’d know for certain). If you wait, there’s pretty much a guarantee of a future pregnancy…

  You don’t need to wait for her to have them – you can get her fixed now, vet won’t be able to determine if she is pregnant until she’s further along but they can spay her now and then you won’t have to worry about unwanted babies. Prevents the accidental pregnancy.
  
  Remember when you get them altered the male is still fertile for up to a month and they both need time apart to heal, as any scuffles / mounting can cause injury when they are fresh from the surgeries.

  Females can usually be fixed at about 6 months, so she is definitely old enough now. If you were to contact your rabbit vet and explain what happened, they may be able to fit her in for what is known as an “emergency spay” this week. The emergency spay would terminate any current pregnancy and prevent a future pregnancy from occurring.
  
  Not everyone is comfortable with the idea of terminating pregnancies, even in animals, so if you don’t want to go that route you don’t have to, just understand that baby bunnies are a lot of work and require a great deal of time and money. Regardless of whether you decide to spay the female now or not, I would have the male in for his neuter ASAP so he has time to heal.
  
  I am assuming by your initial post that this was accidental. In case you are not familiar with the forum rules, please be advised that any discussion of INTENTIONAL breeding is not permitted.
