  Please be patient as I explain the situation. Ok, I have 6 buns in our house. Mr. Hopper was saved from going to the shelter because his owner was moving to Germany. before he came to us he was a outside hutch rabbit. for a while he was happy with his new home and freedom. He soon stopped doing his binkies and just layed around with his head on the floor. So we bought Nibbles soon after he was born from a breeder. it was instant love between them, and still is. By the way, they are fixed.
  
  Well this year, I found Blue a Flemish Giant. His mom was rescued from a hording situation, and I adopted him. We tried bonding Blue into the pair to no avail. So we adopted Baby so Blue wouldn’t be lonely. Blue got fixed in June of this year. and baby will be getting fixed soon.
  
  OK(sorry I know this is long) a friend didnt know her bun was prego, and had 5 kits. 3 were adopted right away, which left two she needed to find a home or they would have to go to a shelter, so I took them.
  
  Now that you are all caught up, they each have turns out to play in the living room. well now that we had to move to MO, our house is smaller and their cages are in the living room too. the problem is when we let them out for their turns Baby and Nibbles are aggressive to who ever is out and comes near their cage. should I be patient to see if they will get used to it? Or should I try something else. I love them very much and dont want to see them upset.

  I think I would just be patient and see what happens. They are probably just trying to deal with all the changes – some rabbits deal with it better than others. If after awhile they are still acting upset, then you may want to think about putting them in another part of the house where the other rabbits cannot disturb them.

  I would just give them time to get used to each other. Thats a lot of rabbits to have nosing around their area. I’m sure my buns would react the same way. It’s a pain how territorial they are.
