Please help me with bonding 3 bunnies!

[Usagi1618]

I have three bunnies. Pookie, Charlie and Cadbury. Pookie and Charlie are both fixed, and Cadbury is too little to be neutered. Charlie and Cadbury needed no help with bonding, they love each other a lot. They sleep in the same cage and everything, it’s really quite darling to see bro love at first sight. I am currently putting Pookie and Charlie on 30 minute bunny dates in neutral territory. We’re still very early on in the process, so Charlie constantly humps, and grooms her, no fighting has ever broken out, she just grunts her disapproval. (Charlie loves all bunnies and humans, but Pookie not so much). There’s definitely hope for these two, but I’ve tried introducing Cadbury to Pookie on 3, 10 second occasions, and she is immediately in for the kill, and I immediately pick up Cadbury and have him find comfort with Charlie. I was hoping to slowly bond all three, but I have no idea what to do with Pookie, she absolutely hates Cadbury it seems. I need all of your help for a plan of action, please no one sentence or one word answers. I would like some input from all owners who have bonded groups etc etc.

I think it would help to begin by reading the Bonding information of the Bunny Info section on the site. You are off to a good start and are already informed, so it may be info. you already know. Then I would do a search in the Bonding Forum for words like “three bunnies” or other keyword combinations. There are many posts that have dealt with situations like yours, and already have had some good advice posted that you can read right away. These posts are read only, so if you read something and have a question, please add it to this post, not the one you found.

But I think you may find some very helpful suggestions already written here that you can try. In the meantime, a member may jump in with more info. here as well.
