  Is it easier to bond a group of rabbits (3 or more) simultaniously or in pairs and than all together? For instance if I had 3 bunnies should I bond two into a pair and than bond them to a third or bond them all together at the same time? Or with 4 bond two pairs and than introduce the pairs or just bond the 4 different bunnies?

  I haven’t done it, but from reading Petzy’s trials (check out her bonding journals) I think starting from scratch with three would be easiest. Bringing in a third can break the bond of the first two and then you have three separate rabbits anyway. Plus, if you’re really attached to your current pair and don’t want to see them fight it can be very hard when introducing a third causes there bond to go south.

  Well I was a few bonding sessions in with my two girls already, and hodling off on getting anymore bunnies until they were bonded. Guess I’ll stop their bonding sessions immediately and go pick up the bun(s) I was looking at tomorrow. Do you think it would be better to bring in boy(s) or girl(s) to my two females?

  Do you have time and space to keep all these buns separately if they don’t bond? Three single buns is a lot of work.
