How long after neutering

[Judders15]

I'm due to get my boy bunny neutered next week, how long after until I can put him with his wife bun? They are next to eachother at the fence all the time so I'm desperate to get them back together asap
Thanks

Usually it takes 4 weeks post neuter, for hormones to have faded enough that the male won't continue to overly pester the other rabbit. Though sometimes up to 8 weeks wait is needed. This is if your female rabbit is already spayed. If not, 6 weeks minimum is needed to ensure he can no longer get her pregnant.

You just don't want to put them together prematurely. If he's still hormonal and overly pestering her with humping attempts, this could lead to a fight, which can reduce chances of a successful bond.

Make sure to read up on bonding methods and rabbit behavior if you haven't already.
