Can a neutered male and unspayed female live together in harmony? At least if its only for a few months?

Yes, although the females hormones will make bonding them a lot harder than if she was spayed.

yeah, you can try it and see how introductionsgo. Some females arent as aggressive unspayed, but some are. It justdepends on the personality.

Depeding ont her age and temperment, you probably could try. I find the older a doe gets it mellows her out a bit.

Its just that i was browsing through rabbitrehome .org and i spied this gorgeous baby girl. Will is gettingneutered soon and they will only hold her for 3 weeks (normally, butthey aremaking an excepetion seeing as its to get Willneutered) but i can't afford to get her spayed until Jan next year, soi thought i could get her and then get her neutered next year so i dontmiss out on the oppurtunity! Thanks though, i'm gonna talk to therescue as they pre-bond all bunnies for a few days for you so you don'thave to worry about ending up with 2 seperate cages when you onlywanted one!

Thats great news that Will might be getting a lady friend!
Im sure the rescue will tell you this, but Will would have to wait atleast 6 weeks or so after the surgery before he could be around anunspayed female.
Would your mom let you set up a little NIC pen in your room until afterWill is altered and they are bonded? So you dont miss out on thislittle one.
Good Luck!

Yeah, i do know that. They're making the allowance of holding her for another 6 weeks rather than their usual 3 because of this.
She may let me keep a little one somewhere in the hosue (althoughprobably not my room as its tiny!). I have Will's old outdoor hutchwhich is really very small for him but seeing as she is only a baby itmight well be OK for her for at least a month or so. Plus i can juststack it ontop of Will's hutch so it wont do anything except block thekitchen window (with its view onto a balnk fence
) for a few weeks!
I'll speak to the vets surgery and see if i can get the date broughtforward for his neutering, as it was planned to be done 2 weeks today,but if i can get it done within this next week it will make it easierto sort everything out. I'll chat to ym mum too about driving 45minutes to pick her up aswell!
