My 2 are side by side, but with a 3 inch space between the bars of the pens so they can’t attack each other through the bars. They’ve done pretty well like that

I agree with Monkey. Also, when you first bring the new bun home, you might want to put cardboard or some other divider between the pens. That way they can smell each other, but they can’t see each other. This might help the new bunny get settled in without the stress of having to see another bunny. After a few days or a week you can take the divider out (still leaving a 3″ gap so they can’t bite each other) so that they can see each other.

When I was fostering my now 3rd bun I had her in the spare bedroom since she wasn’t fixed. Once she was fixed and after a month or so (when all the hormones calm down) and we adopted her we moved her next to my other two that are bonded. That might be your safest bet. I had a foster bun who I let out and wasn’t fixed and she was fine and didn’t poop anywhere in the living room but when my other two (it was mainly the girl), she went to the bathroom EVERYWHERE and it took her a month to calm down (we only had the foster out ONCE and she did that). So be careful with that too, they might mark everywhere. And just like monkey said to keep a few inches between their cages, you never know if they’ll stick their nose through and the other one might bite.
My advice with bonding wait of course until their both fixed and be patient. It took my two 2 weeks to bond but they didn’t fight, just every humpy.

It’s hard to really say for sure b/c every set of rabbits will be different. If you put them in the same room and they break out into vicious aggression, I would maybe not house them in the same room until a month-post neuter. Bad experiences pre-neuter can make post-neuter bonding more difficult. Rabbits have a long memory when it comes to stuff like that. And of course, the marking may be bad. My thought if I were in your situation… house completely separately until one-month post-neuter and then move into the same room and start the introductions from that point.

Just want to mention you should quarantine a new rabbit for 2 weeks prior to letting them near each other to make sure the new bunny doesn’t have any illness that you may not know about.

Yay for new bunny!

Now… we need to have a little “chat” here…

New bunnies require pics posted here. Rule Number One. hehe

*poke*

aw so cute. do you now if its a boy ar a girl or is he to young to tell? so cute so adorable

OMG *bunnynaps*

My hubby says our next bun has to be a grey lop He’s adorable!

I love gray bunnies! So cute!

Monkey, where do you stash all these bunnies that you ‘nap?

Wouldn’t you like to know…. >.>

*hides the bunnies*

Oh my gosh! So cute!

I have a male Lionhead that was about 4 months old when I got a female Holland Lop (8 weeks then). It was really funny, at first I had her cage on a waist high closet so he could not see her, but knew something was there and was scared. Two days later when he realised it was another bunny he jumped there and left two poops as a welcome on the towel which was her cage. I had to take cage down then even tho I was planing on having her there for a week so they can both adjust. Soon he realised she was still a baby and not a threat so every time I open the cage he goes to visit her and a few licks around the eyes. Things did get somewhat hectic on the males part in the last few weeks with the marking and “sexual frenzy” as she is now almost 4 months old. Male bunny was neutered 10 days ago so there are almost no problems anymore when one of them is outside and the other inside.

My Lop almost looks like yours but bit more dark and after seeing your pictures I spent the last hour chasing her around with a brush and damp cotton “pillow things” as she was busy with her “projects” because she doesn’t groom herself as much .

Be careful Rippy, male bunnies can still make babies with a female up to a month after being neutered.

He is gorgeous, I love that deep colour. That must have been hard, swapping the boy and girl back over. I hope the breeder got it right this time for your sake.  Here’s a little spin on the names so far… Nugget McBlue !

Awww what a cutie! Both of them

He is precious too! I do hope “Ms. Blu” finds a fantastic family!

yeah, any updates on the name front?
It took me 10 days to name our first son, two weeks to name the second, almost 3 weeks to name the third….
and about one hour to name the bunny.

-woops, didn’t read all the posts I guess. Sorry.
Mr. Blu is very cute. I’d probably wind up calling him “bluford”

Sadie… It took you that long to name your kids?! We had to have our son named before we left the hospital, they wouldn’t have let us leave otherwise….

Yup – that’s a common threat. They can’t keep your children, that would be um… highly illegal. They just don’t fill out a birth certificate, or you get a birth certificate with “baby” as the first name, and then you have to pay to “change” the name and go through a bunch of rigamaroll. Fortunately, two of ours were born in a state where it was common to hold off naming for a month or even more (Hawai’i) so we never had to go through anything too serious. 

We’re just way to indecisive …

OH! I figured you had to have something decided, and it would be pain to have to go thru the legal process to change it. Didn’t think about some states being different. We had a certain name picked out and then after my husband made me switch it…. I was coerced. Lol… just kidding!

That is the cutest little bunny!

Knowing me, I’d name a kid Bunny or something… lol.

I have a NIC Condo so i had one on top of the other and had a bond at first sight which was nice. BTW VERY VERY cute bunny!

I heart both of your bunnies!! Your girl looks a lot like my Otto 🙂

Me loves the little grey lop! I’d like to add him to my little rainbow of loppies! And you’re Oreo looks just like my Comet!

She looks a lot like my Otto too! We’ll have to start the black & white lop club. I can think of at least 3 others on BB.

oh oh, is that Monkeybun sneaking up on Oreo in that photo? Bad Monkey, put that bunny back!

hehe

My hubby wants to bunnap Mr. Blu
