Adding a third rabbit - good/bad idea?

Someone at work wants to rehome her neutered male rabbit and I'm quite tempted to take him on. He sounds lovely. However, I'm not sure it would be a great idea as I already have two bonded rabbits - Daisy and Harvey. Harvey has gone blind since he's been bonded so I'm not sure how he would react to a new rabbit, particularly another male. We don't really have the space to keep them separate either. Hmm.. maybe I've just answered my own question!

Is it difficult to add another male to a bonded pair?

I guess the bottom line is that it depends on the personalities of the bunnies involved and also who is the dominant bun currently. I personally think the fact that Harvey is blind would dissuade me from trying. I wouldn't want to upset his stability.

Maybe you could ask Honeybunny if the unwanted bunny could be put on her waiting list to be taken into rescue to be rehomed.

I would definitely agree that it depends on the personalities involved. I bonded an unnetuered Brian with Charlie and Jack (already bonded husbun and wife) and there were a few scuffles to start but it was remarkably easy.

I put this down to Charlie's tolerant nature and Brian's natural easygoing attitude, even though he had plums.

I would be hesitant to do it again unless I knew the personality of the bun well. I was fully prepared to keep Bri in his own hutch separate from the others for his life if I had needed to.

If you could keep the 3rd bun seperate if the bond failed then I'd say yes as you can't and one of your buns is blind so likely to be defensive I wouldn't personally try it.

Thanks for your replies, I really appreciate your comments. I've had a think about it and decided it's probably best that I leave my buns as they are.

Harvey and Daisy are too precious to me and I really couldn't bear to upset them when they seem so contented in each others company.

I've advised the girl to look on the Rabbit Rehome website and perhaps put him on there.

I know the dilemma. I got a phone call from a neighbour last year. Her 16 year old daughter had demanded she get a rabbit and of course, couldn't then be bothered with it. The mum offered me the bun along with his hutch etc., but I just didn't want to take the chance and felt it was unfair that I wouldn't be able to give him the space that my current buns have. He did get a new home but you do feel bad about saying No, but sometimes it's for the best.
