Spaying (females) or neutering (males) will prevent any unwanted litters between males and females.
It can also reduce health and behaviour issues, increasing the chances your rabbits will get along.
Find a veterinary clinic that works with small animals, including rabbits. You can find someone in your area using the ABVMA Directory.
Once spayed/neutered, wait at least four weeks before introducing them to another rabbit.
Bonding of rabbits should be done slowly – over a few weeks – to help them learn to get along.
We do not recommend using stress bonding, but instead taking time and slowly introducing your rabbits.
Read our guide to rabbit introductions & bonding for what to consider when finding a buddy for your rabbit, and the steps to take for successful bonding.
The size, location and set up of your rabbit’s space are important to keep them comfortable and happy.
When you have multiple rabbits living together, their housing should be large enough for all of them and adjusted so they each have their own hiding spaces, litter boxes, and access to food and water. Find rabbit supplies at Bingo’s Pet Shop.
Read our guide to rabbit housing for more information and tips.
Rabbits who are bonded should not be separated, as this can be stressful.
Make sure you have a carrier they can travel in together.
If one needs to go to the vet, talk to your vet first to make sure the other rabbit can come with them.
A sudden change in behaviour can be a sign of a health issue or pain. If your rabbit’s behaviour has recently changed, take them to your vet.
You can find a veterinary clinic in your area using the ABVMA Directory. Make sure the veterinarian is comfortable with rabbits/small animals.

If you’re thinking of re-homing your pet, we recommend taking steps to find them a new home yourself before bringing them to a rescue or shelter. Pets often do better if they can go directly to a new family. For tips on how to responsibly rehome your pet, read our guide.
