Un-nuetered buck + Nuetered doe = Good combo?
I have been thinking for a while about getting 2 of my un-nuetered bucks a girlfriend but DO NOT want to breed.
I have a nuetered buck with an un-nuetered doe and they get on brilliantly, she will be nuetered when old enough.
Bramble is quite old [6 or 7] and hasnt been overly well through the winter, but is starting to perk up alot now.
Harley is 1 but has brain damage and people I have spoke to have advised against nuetering him because of his problems.
I would love them to both have a friend each but dont know if this is possible?
Any help is greatly apriciated xx

Hi. Although there is no chance that the female will get pregnant, the male bunnies may still try to mate with the female and may act territorial when faced with sharing his home which may make bonding more difficult. Having said this, I would not rule out the possibility.
I dont have much experience with bonding bunnies I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will reply soon to give you better advice

No - not really a good idea. The buck will potentially plague the life out of the doe and make life a misery for her. She may well turn on him in return and attack.
Obviously this is a very sweeping statement and will depend on the buns involved but if things go wrong are you able to then accommodate single does? Take on more bunnies for them?
Unless you have contingency plans for if it falls apart then I wouldn't take the risk. Sorry
