I have recently added a small 8yr old neutered male bunny to my 9yr old neutered female bunny as she had just lost her fourth husbun. This male had been on his own in a cage all his life and had recently been neutered. They were hard to bond, but settled down, however he has started being a bit of a pain with her now and again. She basically ignores him or moves away, but he is a bit of a thug.
All summer there has been a bunny hanging around. We are very rural. Initially we thought it was ill but it’s not. I wondered if it was dumped, but my vet nurse friend asked their exotics vet (with photos) and they thought it was wild, as did a rescue I sent photos to. But it still hung around, wasn’t scared of dogs, sat out in hot sun and pouring rain. I wasn’t convinced it was wild. I started rolling it an apple each day and it started letting me get nearer. After a month it would run towards me and take a slice from my outstretched hand. After another month it came closer, and I finally managed to grab it on Saturday. I put it in an unused enclosure away from my bunnies, and today took it to the vets for its jabs. It’s a female. Booked into be neutered in a fortnight. I’m crazy because I said I wouldn’t have more bunnies, but I have a soft spot for this girl and am considering keeping her if I can bond her with the others. I think a younger, more active female in with the little thug boy might take the pressure off my elder bun.
But I’ve never mixed more than two. Does it work the same?
