let the bonding begin! (help needed)

[Floppybuns]

I have recently had my little boy Spencer neutered. All went fantastically and he is pretty much back to his old self

I have two other rabbits, Peach and Shamus that are bonded and i need to start the process of bonding Spencer with them! So i am hoping some of you bonding experts can help me as i have never had to bond bunnies before and i am a little stressed about how i should go about it. 

Peach and Shamus are both fixed. Peach is a girl and Shamus is a boy. How do you suggest that i start? Is it better to start one on one or with just all three of them?

Any advice would be amazing!!

I would start with all three of them. First I would put them in a room together, with an x-pen down the middle, and see how they react, it’s great news if they don’t bite each other, but lunging and chasing are normal. Do that for a few days, than I find stress bonding the most effecting. Take them all on a “peaceful” car ride. You can do this a few times, than you can move on to the washer. Does your washer (while on) go really fast at one point and make the floor shake? Mine does. Put the bunnies in a carrier on top of the washer. Block them if they start fighting. You can keep doing this (and other stressful things that you can think of) until they start acting better. You can then put them in the bathtub/shower and see how they react. The final task, is to put them in an x-pen together for a full 3 days and see how they get along.

Hope I helped!
