Yes I am getting them vaccinated & etc got to get xeno anyway as I think she's got fleas. Probably panacur her too.
The hutch has also got insect netting over the mesh to keep the nasty flies out.

I would wait and get her spayed first then introduce a neutered male on neutral gorund for them to bond. Also please dont let your bun free range without supervision, theres birds of prey (buzzards even take piglets so a rabbit is nothing) foxes still hunt in the day and then theres cats. Get them a secured run for when you cant supervise. If your girlie is a french xdwarf she'll grow quite big, a shed or playhouse converted would be better than a hutch and certainly the smallest hutch she should have is a 6ftx2ftx2ft
