She is only 10 weeks old, the first introduction was done in the living room as my son had got him out ready, when I returned home with the little baby, he seemed to do a lot of sniffing round her.
We have had him for a few years now but unfortunately he has lost his companion a (Gunea pig) a few weeks ago. |

hi i have a dutch (male) and a female lop when we first tried bonding them they had quite a few little fights with the dutch biting and trying to hump the lop it took a while but the are together now but i can see a possible problem with a neatherland and a dutch becasue netherlands are sooo shy and dutch's are generally quite hyperactive especially while they are young you will need both of them done before you can even think about it and be prepared to see a little bit of nasty behaviour from them both but it can be done
all i can say is good luck we went on the net for most of our advice ie googled rabbit bonding. |

To be honest it makes no difference what breed the rabbit is, each rabbit has its own personality.
As said above have the hutches near each other. You can also have one in a run and one loose as well to get used to each other. When you are ready to bond put them in neutral territory. There will be alot of humping to decide dominace . Do not seperate unless there is fur flying and teeth and claws flying too. It can be nerve wracking watching, if they are getting on, do not seperate them. If you do you will have to bond them again. Make sure the hutch they are going in has been scrubbed to get rid of any scent. White vinegar is good for this. If you do it in the morning you will have all day to observe them. Good luck. |

I had a dwarf lop kept with a guinea pig for 3 years. When the guinea pig died I got a young female doe, and put her in the same hutch and run immediately. They got on absolutely fine! Think he fell in love with her as soon as he saw her!
