Male neutering

Question
How long after neutering should a male be kept seperated from a female rabbit?? I don't want another unplanned pregnancy!!!

Answer
Hi Karen

Three weeks.  After 3 weeks he should be completely healed and have no ability to impregnate the doe again.  There might be some difficulty re-bonding them after the 3 week period so plan on doing it slowly.  If they are immediately re-attached to each other you should have no problems at all.  If they show some aggression towards each other you may need to put them in a neutral area for 30 minutes a day for a few weeks and keep an eye on them.  

Let me know if you need anything else
