Paddy wont even notice there are 2 other buns around :roll: Peaches, well, if you give her a cardboard box she wont notice either :lol: Theyre the most laid back comical buns ever, they are both so dopey! Peaches spends ages playing with empty cardboard boxes :roll: xXx

Awww they sound adorable
Are they ok with travelling? Poor little Rainbow was dribbling on the way back when we picked him up It was further than i realised.And Kath - keep nagging, that's what i did! :lol: I just said to him that another 2 isnt going to take up anymore room as they'll all be in the bunny room together, it wont cost him anymore cos i pay for everything anyway, basically it wasnt really going to affect him in any way- apart from having another 4 buns jumping all over him when he's on the laptop instead of 2 :lol: He loves them, he's just to "macho" to admit it!! :lol:

Thanks Becky :wave:
Well my 2 new babies are here and they are gorgeous
I put them together and all was fine for about 5minutes - Rainbow and Paddy even starting grooming each pretty much straight away - but then all hell broke loose! Jose humped Peaches and Peaches was not happy about that at all so she starting jumping on all the other buns and ripping clumps of fur out (mainly out of poor Rainbow) Jose retaliated and started being agressive back and all i could see was 4 buns scrapping and fur flying everywhere
I took Peaches out of the pen and everything calmed down, the other 3 were getting on fine. I left her separate for a few mins to calm down and then put her back in and she started fighting again
On Becky's advice, I've separated them now and put Jose and Rainbow back in their bunny room and P&P are still downstairs in the pen. I guess I need to put them in separate pens so that they can see each other but not touch through the bars, only problem with this is that when i did this with Jose and Rainbow, Jose went mental and started trying to jump out to get to Rainbow - she wasnt happy at all and I dont want to antagonise her.
All buns are fine, no injuries, just a little less fur :roll: P&P are currently sitting snuggled up in the corner and Jose and Rainbow are being noisy upstairs, or should I say - JOSE is being noisy! :roll:
Where do i go from here? I've only got the rest of today, tomorrow and Monday to bond them, and them i'm back at work - HELP!!

Id at least give them a few hours to calm down... this is the problem i had with Ronnie and Lola, everytime he tried to hump Lola, she would retaliate and rip chunks of fur out of him
Were they literally rolling round in a big ball? Or were they just fur pulling/chasing?? I know you have to draw a fine line between the two, which is hard but Peaches may just need to be knocked down a peg or 2 (preferably by Jose :lol: ) If you try them again later tonight, and all is still bad you'll need to bond the slow way. Change litter trays/blankets/toys over every day so they get used to each others smells.
There is light at the end of the tunnel Cant believe Peaches is the naughty one :shock: I told her to behave :lol:

It appears that Peaches chose ignore you :lol: You were right about Paddy though, he wasnt bothered by the other buns at all :lol:
I'm not sure if they rolling around in a big ball or not :? All i could see was bunnies everywhere and then i panicked and grabbed Peaches out of the mix
Would it work by just putting Jose and Peaches together for now and then add the other 2 later??
