Hi Molly
It’s good to hear that Shrimp has overcome the head tilt. Is she still regaining strength?

This happened a bit with my F-F-M trio some years back. One female developed head tilt and it took a good month of nursing her through it. She lost a lot of weight during this time. It was the other female(actually her daughter) that was not as accepting of her when it was time for her to go back with them full time. I think in my case though, this female was not as dominant as Squid sounds. She could show some sass but underneath it was just uncertain at times. So I was lucky that it’s didn’t take too much effort to get them back to normal. It helped that the boy was a happy-go-lucky type. I was pretty hands on initially because Maple was so week and I didn’t want her to have a set-back.

With Shrimp and Squid, it might pay to work on just them together. Even if just putting in a washing basket and stroking your hands over both, swapping hands to transfer scent somewhat. I think after a rabbit has been ill and handled a lot, they smell a bit different and that could cause some of the non-acceptance.

During the playtime, is it in their habitat or a different area? Are there things that trigger the chasing ie. territoriality over litterbox or hiding places?

Should i keep trying to fix the bond between the three (and if i do how am i going to make sure she gets enough to eat) or should i take her away from Squid and Noodle and get her a new mate that would match with her extremely timid personality?

I honestly love this idea because another rabbit gets a new home. It really depends on whether youre able to take on another. And prepared for housing 2 pairs separately. (They can become messy when living in close proximity!) Even better would be another little bun that is recovered from tilt.
