Here in Colorado I couldn't find a vet to even talk to me about fixing a rabbit.... so the fact you can get it taken care of is a go ahead I would say....if th as t would have been an option we would have had more than 1

Okay, here’s the deal. This is so important, I will take advice from anyone. Yup! I’m desperate.
I really had no intention of definitely getting a rabbit. I just didn’t want to get the urge, and be oblivious to what was necessary.
I called a pet store to see what they had available for rabbits (like hay bales). I was put on hold, and given the number of a woman a few doors down from the pet shop.
She and her college (in a dorm) daughter picked up two bunnies from a big chain pet shop. They were the only two rabbits there. 3-month-old female Lion lops. A few days later, the daughter thought that she saw male genitalia on one. They brought the rabbits to a neighbor, and it was declared they were both males, and more like five or six months old.
The two boys are in a small cage, and rarely get out an hour a day. While being unfixed, potty training is a little more difficult, the owners didn’t even know they could be trained (I can handle that).
Having both boys neutered will cost around $400. Other than that, there really is no major expense at this time.
Should I adopt these boys? They are free, and come with pellets and Timothy hay. I have a big enough cage, the litter needed, chew toys (rabbits love the sticks from apple trees!) as well as a box for hiding, litter and bedding.

I'd think they could be housed together and get along with one another just fine if that's what's concerning you, as long as there's no female around. Never tried it myself, but it stands to reason.

I took a shower, and put on a nightgown this morning to just putter about for a few hours.
The doorbell rings, and I was scrambling about for quick clothes.
A $150 dress was the closest thing. So I put it on, and opened the door to an egg customer. I just got rid of four dozen eggs yesterday, and had five eggs left in the house. I only have three hens, and they have slowed down for the winter. He wanted another two dozen.
I actually had to go to the coop wearing a full length dress. Worse, there is fertilizer most of the way up my boots, and I was covered in cobwebs while trying to avoid the dirty perch.

People Who Eat Deer And Elk With Chronic Wasting Disease

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/07/090730111152.htm

it suggests that it MAY NOT be transmittable to humans but then at the end this coment says.....
""The fact that the squirrel monkeys, like the deer and elk, suffered severe weight loss suggests that chronic wasting disease might affect a common region of the brain in different species," notes Dr. Chesebro"

But mad cow disease was not meant to be transmissible to humans either.
I would not be taking any chances.
