I got Spooky from a animal shelter. He is quite attached to me in ways and he is over a year or two old. He is neutered and I'm wondering how to introduce him to a female. He is a big rabbit so would I have to get a female near his size? How do I go about this?
Just during the day he doesn't have a mate to hang with and is looking a tid depressed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If your worried about conflict between these animals, then separate the two between a wire mesh. This will allow them to be aware of each other, be able to see and smell the other, without being able to attack each other. Once they are comfortable with each others presence, you can then let them fully interact for a few supervised hours a day until you are confident that they interact well.
Rabbits are docile animals, so the process shouldn't take too long.
