ALOHA

i want to know if my netherland dwarf can bond with another male/female without being spayed.


Answer
Dear Mariah,

The answer:  It depends.  It depends on the personality of the bunnies, on the age of the rabbits, and whether at least one of them is spayed/neutered.  You can find tips on bonding rabbits here:

But do not put two unaltered rabbits together if they are of opposite sex, as it takes only seconds for pregnancy to happen.  Literally.  Rabbits are induced ovulators, and if they mate, they ovulate, ensuring pregnancy.

Spaying is essential for the health and longevity of a female, as they have a very high risk of uterine cancer unless spayed:

Hope this helps.
