I’m Back!!! Big news and also need bonding help

[AnnaW]

Hey everyone! Long time no posting, things have been hectic and I am six months pregnant with me and my husbands first baby … How time flies.
I’m not sure when I last posted, but we lost our precious Barney and Belle earlier this year

Belle fell asleep forever in the sunshine with Barney next to her, happy and content … She was only around 4 but had extensive problems mainly relating to being a tripod and having splay legs so we were happy to not have to help her across the bridge which we thought might occur!
Barney had to be helped over the bridge after weeks of not eating and being so depressed without his beautiful Belle bun. They are both buried side by side in the garden with a heart plaque my husband carved which says ‘barney and belle, together forever’ <3

Before Barney died, we adopted two sisters in the hope we could bond him to them and save him dying of heart break. He wasn’t remotely interested unfortunately, so Bramble and Oreo live together both spayed. We recently adopted Snowball from a rescue (accidental impulse rescue!!) who is a neutered buck.

I have never bonded a trio before, any advice is welcome!!! Snowball seems very gentle and has briefly met Oreo – there was a bit of very slow persuing but no fighting at all. Bramble is a bit fiery and I’m worried she’ll be aggressive, should I try all three together or see if Oreo and Snowball can develop a bond and hope this persuades Bramble to be nice?

Thanks
Hope you’re all well

Anna! So glad to see you back here on BB! Congrats on the baby-how very exciting!
I’m sorry to hear about Barney and Belle. They were some of my favorites.
I have bonded a trio before, also a pair of bonded females and a buck. I didn’t do any seperate bonding, just put them all in a pen together, but if you find the buck and one of the girls tussle a bit more i’m sure it couldn’t hurt. I would reccomend use of a “stunt double” in the girls cage to help them get used to the idea of a new bunny.

So very sorry to hear about Barney and Belle.

I’m not very helpful with bonding but wish to offer you good luck!

Hello there! I just read this post and cried! How upsetting
Its comforting to think that maybe they’d be in bunny heaven loving each other ?.
I really hope you have luck bonding again! I’m having bonding troubles of my own :/
