Hello everyone! I am in the process of bonding a rabbit trio for a friend (f/f/m). The neutered boy is 1.5 years old and the girls are 8mos old and spayed. I feel like I have an odd situation on my hands. The boy lived by himself most of his life with his owner. When the girls were adopted, they were bonded but unspayed of course and all 3 lived side by side. Now that everyone has healed for a while, trying to put them together is difficult. One of the girls (Daisy) is obsessed with her sister (Flora) and keeps trying to groom and hump her, but Flora absolutely hates this and it's leading to chasing and fighting between them. The boy (Oakley) initially hated both girls and kept trying to fight them as well. Or at least I thought. I tried pairing him with Daisy and then with Flora. Floral and Oakley have been doing very well together, but Oakley immediately attacks Daisy anytime she's near. How can I reintroduce Daisy to these two? Is it just not a good fit?
Also, I've been bonding for almost a week, initially using the marathon microspace method and gradually increasing the size. I had to stop with all 3 as fighting escalated to the point of being unmanageable and then moved on to working in pairs to better understand where and with whom an issue may be occuring.
