OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

Can we have a bit more info?
Are all spayed and neutered? What are the sexes? How long has each pair been bonded? Are they used to living nearby/ do they know the others exist?
The main risk when adding more bunnies to an established bond is that it splits the existing pairs, and you end up with 3 single bunnies, or in your case, 4. So if we know they’ve all been living in the same room and are aware of each other, then that risk is minimised.
The best way to bond any bunnies is to start with prebonding. So swap the two pairs between each others cages every other day for at least a month. Keep an eye that this doesn’t cause any aggression between the existing pairs.
After that, you can try introducing them in neutral territory, either as a whole group, or working individually with the members that you think will be most difficult.
