Quarantine?

In another thread the issue of quarantine of a new arrival was raised.

I have to admit it’s something I’ve never consciously done – ours were kept separate while they settled in but were allowed to meet through the cage mesh. I can’t say I recall reading it in any care leaflets even the ones on bonding / getting bunny a friend.

In what circumstances can new arrivals be considered ok to mix with your existing rabbit(s) or is the answer never?

I have only put one bun in Quarantine it was because he came from a bad rescue :( all my other buns have come from good recsues off here...

So is it safe to assume most rescues won't rehome a bunny until they've monitored it for a while and are reasonably happy it's not carrying an infection? How long would this need to be?
