I have been the owner of a small breed Harlequin bun who has been amazing & is VERY playful, so I got him a friend Oreo!!
Oreo was supposed to be a boy, but no she's a GIRL! How did I find out? They mated immediately!! lol So I will be having a litter.
That's ok though!
My question now is can they be together for the next 2 weeks? I know they need to be separated 2 weeks before she delivers but can they be together now? They sit at each other's doors even though they can't actually see each other ๐๐ Just wondering TYA!!

Hi Nikiella, How very exciting for you. Supposing that your two rabbits remain on good behavior, then sure - leave them together.
Just know that they may also continue to breed and rebreed during those 2 weeks. So you'll be smart to keep an eye on the doe to ensure she doesn't get cranky and impatient with the buck's advances.
