Introducing a new rabbit?

ChandieLee · Jul 25, 2009

Hey everyone.

It's been awhile. I hope I'm posting this in the right section.

Well, since the three or so months I've been gone, I've gotten a new bunny (actually, I was only supposed to be fostering her, but my friend decided she couldn't handle taking care of a baby and a bunny). She's a dutch and her name is Bailey.

Bailey is quite a sweet-heart, but also a bit destructive. She was actually spayed about a week and a half ago, so I'm hoping the desructive behaviour comes to a stop soon.

Anyway, as you know, I also have Belle and Necro, my bonded bunnies. I am hoping to be able to bond Bailey to both Belle and Necro. I was wondering how difficult that may be and I was also wondering, for those of you have bonded three bunnies, do you have any tips?

Thanks, as always,

Chandra

Well I find bonding 2 females and 1 male the easiest, My only trio consists of 2 females and 1 male, I would just suggest letting your already bonded pair sniff Bailey through her cage and even if they fight let them just make sure it isn't anything too serious, After a little scrap they should no who is boss, And then it really is sweet sailing from there.

Thanks for the advice.

Hopefully I'll have an easy time with this then.

I'm slightly concerned though; Belle is the big kahuna bunny
around here and can be quite the stubborn bunner. She gets pretty upset if things don't go her way.

Belle sounds like my Suki, Just hope that your new bun is very passive. And if so they should get on perfectly.

Bailey is actually very passive, like Necro.

Another question regarding bonding: Bailey was just spayed about a week and a half ago. How long should I wait to begin the bonding process? I was thinking I should wait until the wound heals, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the advice!!

As soon as the wound has healed!
