Hello 
My rabbit, Guppi is a 2.5-year-old neutered male dwarf lionhead, and I want to get him a friend. The one that I picked out is an 8-week-old netherlands dwarf female, but I'm worried about the age gap and their different energy levels. (Guppi is rather laid back.) I talked with the breeder, and she said that neither should be an issue (I could even keep them together until the girl reaches maturity, then get her spayed, wait a month or two, and re-introduce them).
What do you think? Should I try bonding them?
((I'm also worried about Guppi's safety. Maybe I should get him a bunny that I can get spayed sooner to lower the risk of a conflict.))

. It might help if you make their space so that there are comfortable places where they can get out of sight of each other when they feel like it.
