Hi I'm new to this forum. I have had a white and orange harlequin mini lop since last sunday and she is my first bunny. We are also getting a chocolate otter mini lop in a couple of weeks when she is old enough to be brought home. The breeder said it'll be fine to put them together as mini lops are very friendly and tame usually (is definitely true with the first one she's so gentle), but we are still a bit worried incase they don't get on! Hopefully they will, will have to introduce and monitor them and see how it goes! Anyway I'm really interested in all things bunny and determined to make our pets really happy and friendly! That's about it for now! xx

Hello and welcome.

It is very, very unusual for 2 unspayed femaled to just "get along." As babies, they will, but once hormones kick in at roughly 4 months, they may fight. Then they will need to both be spayed, and then re-introduced and properly bonded (if they decide to get along). I'm not trying to be johnny raincloud here, just letting you know that rabbits, especially unfixed rabbits, don't typically get along. Females, once hormones kick in, are especially territorial. I have a female mini-lop and it has been quite an ordeal bonding her with another bun.

How old is your new baby?

:yeahthat:

if you separate them quickly at the first sign of fighting, they'll often remember that "baby bond" (particularly if you keep them close together enough that they can see/smell each other without being so close they can fight through the bars), which can make it easier to re-bond them after their spays. keep in mind, it can take about 4 weeks after spaying for the hormones to get completely out of their systems.
