How successful have people been...

bonding a new female with a male/female pair?

ive posted this elsewhere, but just thought i would ask here!

To the best I can remember it's one combination I have never done, I have added a male to a female pair quite easily though.

Like all things it totally depends on the individuals involved and their tolerances and behavioural tendancies.

I tried 1 male, 2 females and it ended badly, I do think it depends on the personalities though.
Do you have a female in mind?

Janice bonded Luna to Snoopy and Penny, who had been a couple for almost a year. Luna was only a baby at that time. It went ok, but Luna has always been a bit of an outsider. She gets groomed by the other two, but also chased by them at least once a day, just to make sure she knows where she stands. When I tried to add another female to the trio, I had to give up, because the bullying got too much. Penny insists on being No. 1 girl.

I bonded Bri to Charlie and Jack (Male to Male/Female pair). I know it's not the same but there was a small amount of scuffling to start (mainly as Bri wasn't neutered) but they soon settled down. He had his own hutch which helped.

wwhhhhhyyyyy?

ooh ok, thanks guys! ive given away, way too much info somewhere else,
but I have another female in mind

my friend saw my buns, and said they were in really great condition, and i look after them really well () so she said shes considering giving her bunnie a home to me :D shes 5 a five year old nethie/lionhead/other mix, called Jasmine and im in total love with her!



shes un-neuterd, has a bad aggression problem towards humans, but apparently she has a very calm disposition towards other rabbits, shes never been vacc, and she lives most of her life in a 4ft hutch! makes me want to give her a home even more! :luv: :luv: :luv:

not 100% sure yet if I will take her, but i reaaally do want her!

Good luck. I tried to bond a female with a male/female pair and was really gutted to have failed. She is still with me but not with the others which really upsets me. I hate to think of her being lonely but my bonded female hates her.

I did it, Gus and Poppy were bonded when I added Sweetpea...was difficult at first, took months to settle down but are happy enough now
