housing altered males and females

[ratgrrl77]

I have aquired 2 previously neglected males. AndI love them both. They are tame and very sweet. They are schueled to beneutered next week. My question is once healed formsurgery can both of them be housed with my spayed female. The enclosureis 4 foot long by 3 footwide by 3 foot tall. The boys are hollands andthe female is a small ( under 5 pound) mixed breed. They all get alongduring playtime.

Hi and welcome .

It depends on the boys ages I think. If they're still young they maywell start to fight later even if they're neutered though it's justpossible they may not. If they're already adult and are getting alongas full bucks I'd say the chances are high they'll house happilytogether, but you'll need to have very careful supervision for quite along time to be sure.

I've got a very happy trio of two does and a buck all neutered, and Iknow at least one person on here has two bucks and a doe in the samecage bonded, so trios can work well.

Let us know how it goes and good for you for rescuing them .

I'm on the one with the two bucks and one doe.

As long as you keep a close eye on them and supervise, you sould be ok.If you want my advice on what I did to bond them, PM me and I'll letyou know.

You could try introducing them to your doe now, as she's spayed so you won't have any surprises.

I have all three of my rabbits in the same cage with no problemswhatsoever. Not to say we didn't have some issues at first, but withsome patience and work, it can happen.

Here are my rabbits: Chompers (lop), Valuran (grey Mini Rex) and Abby (mix lop/rex)

Abby reminds me of Chernish because she is black colour too.

The males are brothers and have always beentogether. They are now adults and the only aggression I have seenbetween them is the largermore dominant of the 2 will ..uh...asserthimself on the other..if you get my meaning.

My female was a rescue too! I adopted her from a local animal shelter.

It looks like they shouldn't have problems then . Hopefully the bonding into one enclosure will all go smoothly.

When are the boys getting neutered and what are all their names?

Great thatyour little doewas a rescue too .

Any pictures?

I will post pictures soon. I have 6 rabbits in all.

A pair of Jersey Woolies ( Zoe...himilayan type) and (Rupert...shaded point blue)

Lola ( the mixed) she is blue

Frodo ( white with beige shadding) and Hedwig( with cream spots) the hollands

and my friend just got orders to move to Hawwaii ( husbands in theNavy) and it would be 6 month quarenteen at $100 a month before herbeloved Furby ( netherland dwarf..magpie) could join them so I took himin today.

These are all inside rabbits. There cages are custom built so they stack.
