bonding all three buns.

[fuzz16]

i have read other threads about bonding and want to give it a go with mine.

the one day they were all out together we went to my work where Dalton ended up licking Ess. he really does well wit Ess and when they lay down Ess will lay his head over Daltons.

well free roaming the basement Dalton is relaxing under the pool table and Sara comes out of nowhere and runs into him, which throws him off and he stomps at her.

then i leave the cage doors open for them all so they can go to thier cage to go to the bathroom (havnt learned how to use litter box outside cage, cept dalton) and Sara goes into his cage, so Dalton goes into hers.

i think they dont like each other...Sara is very onery for a bunny.

think i can still try bonding them even if she annoys him so badly?

it is possible to bond 3 buns but not always so easy

2 girls and a boy probably is better than 2 boys 1 girl.

Iwant to give you hope that this possible because others on this group have had threesomes; I personally have had a coupletwosomes but can't handle more than that.

best to read through these articles from our library before you attempt anything more

hopefully some of our members with multiple bonds will be able to help you out also

was reading and it says baby bunnies are easily accepted. meaning Dalton still isnt over a year old i beleive and the babies are almost or a lil over 3 months i hope it will be easy....Dalton really does like Ess...i take that as a good sign



thier all in the house playin right now...Dalton seems still annoyed with Sara who wants to follow him around a bit. but otherwise nothing aggressive...and i think Ess is the dominant of them all...which is funny cause he is the smallest and most fragile looking. and the goofiest

You cannot keep males and females together at that age....???
unless you want baby buns

I assume the older one is altered?

Dalton is fixed

Sara and Ess wont be together until he is fixed...and my vet wont do it till dec. so ya...stupid vet.

Babies do generally love everyone, but that's only temporary and doesn't last.. as soon as they hit their 'terrible teens' they may become territorial and aggressive towards other rabbits, and sometimes that can happen out of the blue. So I personally wouldn'tcomplete bonding (allowing them to live together unsupervised) until all are fixed. Really crucial in trios even more so than pairs (in my experience) to have them fixed, because if they are intact most will cause trouble due to being territorial over the other bunnies (goes with both females and males).

I have a trio, and can definitely work! Easier to work with fixed and mature bunnies, since babies can be a bit obnoxious! Once they settle down though, easier to deal with . I would definitely try bonding in the future!

do yo think Ess, my male, would be ok wit Dalton until he gets fixed in december?

or should i find a vet to do it sooner?

if they are both males and they're not fighting it is OK but you have to watch for any signs of fighting and then separate them . > As Ess grow he will probably get more aggressive.
Your vet is most likely waiting until both of them are old enough to alter.
