Spaying Females

Question
I will soon be getting two rabbits.  My question is if they are from the same litter and they are both females, can I have them spayed at the same time and them immediately have them put in the same hutch(It's two stories, and outside [can't be put inside])?

Answer
You can have them spayed at the same time but they will need at least 3 weeks of separation time to heal.  It is major surgery for a doe and without separation they could pull each others stitches while trying to groom.  Not to mention that they will both be in very severe pain and completely miserable.  A small squabble could cause serious injury.

After 3 weeks you can put them back together.  Make sure that they still get along.  If not you may have to spend a little bit of time re-bonding them.  If that is the case let me know and I can give you some tips on bonding.

Good luck
