I made a post a few weeks ago about bonding my neutered male rabbit with my unaltered female rabbit. Everything was going very well, so I moved forward by building a grid-cube cage or "NIC" cube cage with a few levels. I thought that by introducing them to the new, big cage together while they were getting along, it'd have a positive impact on the bonding process. I was right!
I went ahead and put them in the cage together. They were both pretty freaked out at first considering they've been in cages far too small for them (ridiculous pet store ones supposedly meant for rabbits). I had to put them up on the levels a few times before they learned to hop up and down by themselves, but after that they seemed pretty happy. They've been in there for about a week or so now and they're stuck to each other like glue. Both are noticeably happier together!
I'm hoping they'll continue to behave themselves and I won't have to separate them, but I do have a back-up cage in case anything happens.
I just wanted to let a few people know that the unspayed female/neutered male pair can be possible... so far.
Here's a few photos of the bonding process...
