Hello,
I have 2 brother bunnies who fell out when they reached sexual maturity, they fight each time they are put together again, but they seem to like (after a bit of chasing) being alongside each other in runs. We rescued 2 does in February, and these both took a shine to one of the males, who has now bonded with them - so we have a loving trio. But also one brother on his lonesome! I believe he's not happy without another bunny to snuggle and groom with. I feel quite out of my depth to try to bond a quad, and I think it's not actually ideal to do so now that we have a bonded trio (I imagine the buck would not allow his does to mix with his brother, and their relationships would all suffer).
So, I am considering rescuing yet another doe (my partner will think I am crazy!) to try to bond with our solo brother. It feels like a risk; what if the bond isn't successful and I end up with 3 separate rabbit enclosures to maintain?
What would those of you with experience do? Advice appreciated. Thank you.
