Hi bunny lovers!
I have two, 12 month old, female lionheads and am considering adopting a young neutered male. Can anyone advise me if it's likely that the 3 buns would bond effectively, or is it best avoided? Obviously I wouldn't want to stress or risk injury to the bunnies.

I have 3 buns, all acquired at different times, who now live happily together (a 1 yr old nethie boy, a 2 yr old nethie girl and a baby giant girl).

Vickie is the real expert on this. I'm sure she'll be along tomorrow with some advice smile.gif

Vikki - you are making me blush again laughs_7.gif

If the bunnies are neutered - I wouldn't have any problems in attempting to bond them into a trio. If they aren't neutered, I'd advise to get them done and give them approximately 3-4 weeks before introducing them to one another.

we have a tri group,although 2 males and 1 girl.

The 2 males were already bonded (brothers) and we introduced Pippa with Roger and Dave and it was the easiest bond ever!. No chasing, nothing!.

Now Pippa seems to be the boss of the group, typical female eh

Good luck with your bonding!
