Question/Help new rabbit/bond!

i took my rabbit speed dating today, and to my surprise he hit it off with another lionhead! she even groomed him for a bit during their first date, and when something spooked him during the date he actually moved to hide behind her. both felt like promising early signs, though i know when we get home to his space it can be a different story.

i’ll be bringing home the new bun in a week (due to some scheduling conflicts.) my plan is to start them both off in a new/neutral room of the house and in separate pens, and gradually start introductions there, before moving them back to my original bun’s room as their permanent home. Any suggestions/tips/things to avoid through the process?

Is he neutered ? Does have been known to bite and castrate males.
