Bonding rabbits

[theevenstarlight]

Hello, has anyone on here ever bonded 3 rabbitstogether when none of them were bonded together before? Is ithard to get the males to get along?

I believe that male and male are hardest to get along, and successfully bond.

Maybe it might be worth going to the Bunny 101 forum and looking at the bonding links there.

I personally would be wary of trying to bond three rabbits together, tobe honest, I wouldn't have a clue where to start because I would beconcerned about two rabbits bullying another, which I have heard ofhappening.

But maybe someone who has done it can give you some advice

I tried to bond my spayed female Lionhead (Madilyn) to my neutered male Harlequin/Dutch mix bunnies (Mallory and Morgan).

Mallory and Madilyn chose each other, and now Morgan is all alone. I amhoping to try to bond them all back, but I am not sure if I want torisk someone getting hurt in a fight, since Mallory and Morgan show alot of aggression just through the cage bars.

I may just end up getting Morgan a bunny of his own and having two separate bonded pairs.

Yes, it is sad. He always looks lonely. I amhoping to get him a buddy within the next two to three monthsthough.....maybe sooner if the right one comes along .

Aw, poor little guy, I just feel so sorry forhim But it's really good that you are going to get him a friend Then the story won't be so sad, at least it will have a happy ending

JadeIcing has 3 all bonded - 2 males, 1female. Take a look at her bunny blog - she has lots ofpictures and details on what she did.

I believe she was bonding them to each other seperately and then working the last one in gradually...

I am going to reread Jade's blog. Maybe I will try rebonding. I am just so scared of someone getting hurt!

Before Wildfire passed she was bonded withBaxter and Zeke. So two boys and a girl. It was avery easy bonding for me, they all got along from the beginning.

I had to take Zeke and Wildfire to the SPCA to meet Baxter and then allthree went on a car ride home together. Then they spent thenext couple weeks in neutral territory together in a pen in my kitchen.

After that they where fully bonded and lived together in a large NIC condo together.

Zeke will bite Baxter's bum everyonce and a while so he can stealBaxter's sleeping spot. And Baxter loves to humpZeke. But they don't fight and they even snuggle with eachother.

I tried to bond Jacques (now at the bridge) withBeau and Babette (a bonded pair) Babette was fine with it but beauwould not let jacques approach Babette and kept driving him away(although they didn't fight.)

it was to sad to watch jacques over in the corner by himself so I endedthat. Eventually jacques was bonded with another boy, Joey and that wasa good pair,

I was thinking maybe bond the 2 males together first then try adding the female in. Im just guessing.
