Rabbits will often try to fight to the death without proper bonding. Im not trying to scare you, but this incident is very small compared to what could have happened. Has the vet seen him yet? He might need stitches to ensure it heals properly. Good call on using plain neosporin until the vet can see him How is he acting now? Has he eaten, drank any water, and toileted? Does he seem terrified? Youll also want to watch out for signs of shock.

You didnt mention if anyone was spayed or neutered. Rabbits who are not spayed/neutered cannot bond. All three of them need to be fixed, and around 2 months need to have passed before you can properly bond them. If only two are fixed and one is not, the fixed two will feed off of the unfixed rabbits hormonal smells and will act just as aggressively.

Ouch @ that picture! Any word from the vet yet?

It is great to hear that he mostly bounced back to his normal self after some yummy greens

Keep him completely away from your girl until he is healed up. Once he is healed up (or after a month, whichever is longer), move his cage next to your girls’ cage. Keep the cages about 10 inches apart so they can all see and sniff, but cannot reach to nip, claw, box, or bite. Keep them like this for about a week. This will help all bunnies slowly adjust into prebonding. After that week, start prebonding. Prebonding is when you swap all of their items (litter boxes, water and food dishes, toys, ect) once a day. Let them mark up the swapped items as much as they want. Clean every other day or every two days. You want them to swap their scents around to get used to sharing their territory. Youll want to do this swap until all three bunnies stop reacting to the swaps.

I want to note, since youre already having issues this early, and you need to be aware of all possibilities: your girls might lose their bond. There are several possibilities that come from trying to bond a trio, with a single bun into an already bonded pair. To bond your male into them, you need to be aware and be prepared for any and all of the possible outcomes.

1) Trio; All three bond together after prebonding, bonding, and stress bonding.
>> Do you have a cage and/or cage and pen big enough for all three of them to share when they cant free roam? One bun needs 18 square feet when caged, three bunnies, depending on their sizes, could need up to 3x that. If theyre going to all be caged for more than 8 hours a day, no matter what their size is, they will need about 54+ square feet to get proper exercise, and will need hidey spots inside of that so any who dont want to play dont have do be bothered when the other(s) are playing.

2) 1 pair, 1 single; Your girls reject your male and you end up with your bonded females and your single male.
>> You already have this set up; could you live with it for the rest of their future?

3) 1 pair, 1 single; Your girls lose their bond, but one of your girls bonds to your male. You end up with one male/female bond, and one single female.
>> You already have this set up, although it would be a bit different placement-wise; could you live with it for the rest of their future?

4) 3 singles; Your girls lose their bond, refuse to rebond, and both girls refuse to bond with your male. You end up with 3 single bunnies.
>> Do you have the space for three single bunnies who need their own cages, pens, toys, litter boxes, ect?

Is try to keep the girls from seeing the newbie. They might all need a break after those fights… And then if follow Mikey”s advice.

Try to keep them as out of sight as possible while on your trip. Usually car rides are good for stress bonding, but you would be taking much shorter car rides and would have someone in the back seat with the buns. Since you have neither, dont try to bond that way just yet. If you have your two girls in a carrier and your new little lady in her own carrier, you would need to keep them on opposite sides of the car, if possible. Your new girl will be healing and stressed from both being next to her attacker and from being in the long car ride. You dont want to add on more stress than you need, so if you can keep them out of sight even in the car ride, it will be better.

As for the move itself, expect some rebonding with your bonded pair for a few days/weeks. They might mark their new home a little extra and might get a little nippy or humpy with one another. If it gets to a point you feel the need to step in, try some in home stress bonding to remind them that they are friends. Keep the new bun out of sight for this, to avoid unneeded stress for the buns. Hopefully, though, the girls’ current bond wont tilt too much and will be fine enough for you to jump into prebonding soon after the move

You can totally do that too; have two separate pairs! It would remove the possibilities of your girls’ bond being ruined and will avoid a ton of stress for all three of them. Plus, if there are any shelters nearby, you could take your new girl for some speed dating so she can pick out her new friend, which will make bonding go so much quicker. If you feel this is the better route to take, go for it. There are a few members here with multiple happy pairs

Note: If you do still want to try to trio them, dont start prebonding until you get to your new home. Prebonding and then moving after will basically make the prebonding useless. Youll need to prebond and bond them in the home you will be settling in. Take this vacation time as a healing and calming time for the bunnies, regardless if you choose to try to trio them or not

Its so crazy that they did not know ‘he’ was really a she! Its common to mix up their sex at a young age, but you would think by age 3 they wouldve known, lol You might have to go for an ultrasound to see if she has ever been spayed or not. Some vets can feel for a scar as well, but depending on when(if) she was spayed, the scar might be very faded now and hard to feel for. Either way, I am glad you have a very understanding and helpful vet

Top should b fine. U can’t prevent them from smelling Each other in a car ride, but at least they won’t b able to see each other.
