[align=center]I have a bonded trio and I love it![/align]
I started working on this for somewhere else but people thought it would be good to make a blog for here too.
Originally I had two rabbits Samantha and Ringo. Sam hated Ringo and we could tell Ringo was lonely. It made us sad and than I met a tiny little girl bunny falling in love instantly. I thought ok once the little one was old enough they would be fixed and put together. They got along well. My Pandora was a dream come true.
Samantha
Ringo
Pandora
A month later another rabbit joined our family. She was so perfect that instantly we knew she could not leave.
So I put this new addition who we call Teresa with my baby girl Pandora and instant friendship. Though we didn't put them together over night. Shoot they were only together if we could see them.
Thank god because I caught Pandora as she first started to mount Teresa. Picked him up and yea she became Connor a male bunny. So separate them. Ok Well now we say ok lets get them fixed and than bond....the boys get sick. So they could not get fixed until they were off meds.
We took Teresa into be spayed and thinking the boys would not get neutered it would be ok to get her a friend. We started looking and found Dallas.
I had Dallas and Teresa meet a few times before hand. My mom was fostering Dallas. He mounted her at first but than would stop the first two times. Than brought him home and bam instant bonding. That was the beginning of December.

Teresa's Bunny Date with Dallas
Well this is waaaay over do. Teresa had her first bunny date. It went well. Some mounting on his part. At that time he was only 2 weeks post neuter. So....to be expected. No aggression.
Ok down to my feelings. Ever see a rabbit for that matter any animal for the first time and your heart scream he is mine? That was what it was like seeing Dallas. Mona opened his carrier and he looked out, glanced side to side. Than walked right out. Mind you my dog, my moms three dogs, and several people were there. He started walking around like he owned the place. Friendly as can be. How could I not love him. That attitude, that sense of being the "man".Plus that face was just tooo cute. He is adoption pending for us.
He will be one Feb 9th, kind of funny my parents anni is Feb 10th. I can't wait till he is home with us, I am so happy but sad he isn't here yet. We would like him here for X-mas but if not than definitely for his birthday.
Well we are keeping the name Dallas but are looking for a middle name. We are thinking something with a J so we can call him DJ.This is what we have so far.
DJ
Dallas Jayme, Dallas Jaymes, Dallas Jameson, Dallas Jayden, Dallas Jaiden, Dallas Jones, Dallas James, Dallas Judson, Dallas Jett, Dallas Jinx(my fave so far), Dallas Jentry, Dallas Jackson, Dallas Jamison

It's going great!!!!!!!! They are grooming a little (both). No mounting.
Eating with no fighting. He is flopping out....I mean total flop...dead
bunny flop. She doesn't flop much. They have been together an hour and
a half. No problems...we are considering letting them stay together.
Any one on here care to weigh in on this?

Neither are aggressive. He has no teeth. I don't know! I want to but at the same time I just don't know. The pen is right in front of my bed and I am a light sleeper. So if they did fight I would here.

Well the new guy has been at my moms house. She was fostering him. We work with the rescue. So I know he is good, also he was just vet checked a month ago.
Well we put her in her cage last night. Today it is 7am and they are both in the pen. We set it in the living room so they will be next tome all day. He is flopped out, she is doing binkies. As long as they don't fight they stay together. I am home all day so we'll see.
It's funny...He is flopped out....she will go over nose to nose. He creeps closer....lick.
Look up..."What I did not groom her." She licks..."What I didn't groom him!"

Well they are having a major mutual grooming session. I mean it was just awesome...I started crying. I must be such a dork.

Well last night we tried separating them and they were so upset. Stomping there feet, flipping dishes, just plain mad. So we put them back together to see. They both flopped out together, so we decided to try it. Not one fight I kept waking up to check, they were either grooming or cuddling.

Yup went out for a few hours came back and they were playing together. Cat tube and tent that she ignored she is now playing with because he is. They were both in the tent and it was so cute.

They were pushing the blanket around today. It was so cute. One pushes it one way than the other pushes it back.
Few days into them being together.
In January we some how got another bun. I swear I didn't plan it. That was our Elvis.
Four days after he joined us Connor started a new med.
Elvis was neutered and once hormones started going down we started putting them together for short spurts. Once we started longer bonding sessions we notice Dallas would get annoyed if Elvis went over to Teresa.

It was if he did not want to share. Also I think he was just to active for Dallas. Dallas tends to be a little laid back while Elvis is ALWAYS on the go.

Other than some mounting from Elvis who is only one week neutered, no problems.They groomed Elvis.Sorry not some aren't so good.Elvis is wet because he flipped the big water dish I had out.
It was if he did not want to share. Also I think he was just to active for Dallas. Dallas tends to be a little laid back while Elvis is ALWAYS on the go.
