Chance

Ok I have a chance to get all white buns (does)
With the little grey on the tip of the nose. There about 4
Mo old. Could I try and put them in the same cage with
My other doe that I have now? Of course I
Would do the quortinie and all of that first.
Just scared that since these are babies would
They be ok with a adult?

I just weighed my doe and she is about 10
Pounds. The Himalayans that I could get, get
Up to 4 1/2 pounds

No they would need to be separated . Even the 4 month old does will begin to get hormonal and territorial with each other over the next few months.
So you need to plan that you may possibly have 5 cages and without spaying all of them you most likely will be keeping 5 cages.
An un spayed female rabbit is usually extremely territorial and aggressive once past puberty.
You could place the 4 month old does together until they begin to fight and then separate all of them , get them all spayed, and then attempt to bond all of them after they have recovered including your current female... but that would be a huge amount of work and money so I would think hard before you take them on.

Yeah I think I'm going to just stay with what
I have. I have a doe and a buck now in
One big cage with divider and was thinking
About putting the Himalayans in with
The doe that I have now IF it would
Work. I will just pass on the Himalayans
For now even though I have wanted a breed like that.

That probably is a wise idea... you could get Himalayans at another time and maybe work out another area where you could house a few more rabbits. :feelbetter:

 

[NDrAbBiTs58041]

Yeah just had the chance to get
Them for nothing. It was a good
Deal, but just don't have the set
Up to house 4 buns if I can't bond
Them some how. Right now I'm
Not fully sure I want to fix the buns
I have so that limits me a lot.

Good thing you decided not to get them now that your girl may be pregnant.

You might want to consider how to make a couple more cages. It won't take long before the babies will have to be separated by sex.

Yeah, good thing now! Wow!!
