Bonding different buns, number 5. While my 2 girls are spayed? So confused!!

Spaying and bonding question. Breaking bonds/newbie intro?

Ok. So right now I have my neutered male in with my 3 girls, it’s Stellar my mini lop, he’s neutered. My two girls are sisters, they will be getting spayed first week of jan. I noticed one has become very hormonal. And our other girl Quinn is 13wks now and she mounts a lot, only Stellar, my male, and now Binky, the female who has become more hormonal.

We also have a new doe netherland dwarf we have been doing bonding sessions with. She doesn’t have a name yet.

So my question is, when they go for their spay together, should I add the new netherland to the group while the two sisters heal in a seperate cage? Should I wait and keep them seperated until healed? I’m just not sure the best way to go about bonding. The only issue that seems to happen during bonding is that Binky seems to dislike the new girl, I think due to hormones and such. Someone suggested chamomile which has worked wonders in ways. But I don’t know who to break apart for this time, and if I should get the new girl introduced nicely. It’s been a bit challenging. I m excited to get two more spayed. And then when the others are 6 months they will be getting spayed as well.

Thanks for your advice I really hope to hear some feedback.

Thank you so much!

i’d say keep them separated until healed. If the girls were to fight while bonding and their stitches haven’t healed, this could lead to the stitches being broke, requiring an emergency vet visit
