I will list my bunnies and what they are up to and see what you all think 
Jazz:
Here I have no problems, but I thought I would let you all know that Jazz has become like a surrogate Mum to Husker, protecting him, grooming him and standing between him and any cats that come close.
Husker:
Jazz is not terrribly people friendly and when I come close to her, she allows pets on the head but does not like to be picked up. Now Husker copies what Jazz does and even though Husker gets individual cuddles etc, he is shying away when I come to clean the cage etc, he just follows Jazz.
Carlita:
Now here I have issues. Carlita is FURIOUSLY jealous of Husker ad I cannot let her near him, she has indicated that she would literally tear him apart if she is allowed to. Carlita has been in the garden for the last 2 days as she cannot be caged or even housed. She comes to her food bowl and sleeps in the outside hutch. She is insanely happy outside but its clear she wants to be Jazz as when she sees Jazz in the outside play pen , she comes up and wants in. But Husker is in there and Husker feels safe and secure with Jazz and its a very loving bond.
Carlita has taken to hurting Jazz if Jazz is even fed, touched or comes into contact with any other person or bunny.
Slipper:
Oh boy!!:X This little man will try to mount ANYTHING that moves, its so disconcerting to watch, he will even try it on with the guinea pigs, with Husker, Jazz, Carlita, ME!!!
His neuter was 2 weeks ago and sadly he cannot be socialised with the other bunnies as he is so ...well amorous. Jazz squeals her unhappiness, Husker cowers from him IF Slipper is allowed near. I have to be right there on the spot if Slipper is allowed his 2 mins of socialisation daily. Slipper desperately wants to see the other bunnies. He bunkies around when he knows I am taking him downstairs to the play pen. But wen we get there, Jaz zand Husker come out and go back into the house. Slipper looks after them as they go with me and he really wants a friend.
My dreams of bonding a foursome or even a trio seem a long way off and may not be possible. I WAS hoping that Slipper might settle down but its seems as if Carlita will alos need to lose her aggressive and domineering streak before anythign can progress and of course Husker will need to grow up to stand up for himself too.
