Can my male rabbit have a girlfriend?

Question
Hi. I have an 18 month old male neutered rabbit who as a result of E. cuniculi has a slight headtilt. Other than this slight tilt he is in excellent condition but I feel would benefit from having a girlfriend to share his hutch with. Is this a possibility bearing in mind his previous health issue and if so, what precautions/procedures should I need to take.   Thank you for your time.

Answer
Dear Carol,

I see no reason why he can't have a girlfriend, but it's vital that you let *him* choose a mate (from your local rabbit rescuer:  www.rabbit.org/chapters) and carefully do bonding so there will be no bloodshed.  Please refer to the helpful articles here:

for information on bonding bunnies, and do rely on the help and experience of your local rescuers for a good match.

Hope this helps.
