  So I currently own a Holland Lop, Rocko, an English lop-flemish mix Holly, and a Netherland dwarf, Kiki, as well as a second Netherland dwarf on the way. The lops are both bonded (male and female) but the male and female dwarves are not yet bonded. I was wondering should I bond the two Netherlands first and then bond all 4 after, or bond the 3 and then add the fourth after he is done being fixed. Any feedback would be helpful!
  
  Thank you!

  I think wait until they’re all ready to go and then try and bond them separately and then put them together! You bonded the lops, correct? You know how the process works?

  It is said that bonding 3+ is easier to do since rabbits can choose who they do and dont like easier, and can spend time with the ones they do like while semi ignoring the ones they dont like. Instead of two on two, i would just throw all of them together for up to 5 minutes (after everyone is neutered/spayed, and healed) in a neutral area, then put them all back into their own cages/pens/areas. Having a second or third person there would be helpful to stop any fights
  
  Another reason this is recommended is because adding any multiple of rabbits into an already bonded pair has a chance to permananly split their bond
