Looking good 
Honey looks abit more scared than the other 2 so it might be fear thats causing him to nip Sooty.
No proper fighting though which is great. I recently started bonding my single msle to my bonded couple and my boys just go for eachother :shock:
Wish theyd behave as well as yours!

Sandy's beginning to get bored and is taking it out on the carpet tiles!

I put in a toilet. It seems to have been a popular move..........

Quick question that hopefully some can answer for me.
They're in a small dog cage just now and we have a larger dog cage that we'd like to move them to. There's plenty of room in the bigger one for them to lie flat while there's a toilet in there with them.
How long should I leave it before swapping them into it?
I have some pics from today that will be posted up later. Need to get them online first!

Janice says only increase the space after 48 hours of no issues.
I broke the rules and doubled the space after a couple of hours with my trio for the exact reasons you are mentioning, but felt I had to take the risk. It worked for mine, but for some bunnies it could easily kick things off.

They had a peaceful night thankfully. I didn't though! Their cage was in the bedroom with us and I heard every drink of water and every foot thump.
Quick question about what's been going on with them..........
Sandy (oldest and biggest male) has been humping both of them. He's also sticking his head under Honey's (younger male) chin. It looks like he's expecting an ear lick.
I'm a wee bit confused as I'd have thought that the humping was him asserting his dominance, but putting his head under Honey was him being submissive.
Who's confused? Him or me :lol:

You :lol:
Putting his head under for a groom is dominance. The submissive one grooms, licks and looks after the dominant one. Sort of like the Queen has servants who tend to her an her needs, she doesn't tend to them. Not sure why I used the Queen as an example of dominance but it came to my head first. :lol:
That all makes perfect sense what you're saying. Sandy wants to be boss. If he is humping a lot you need to check and make sure his little boy bit is not getting sore because if they are humping a lot they can do themselves some damage.
Glad they had a good night, shame you didn't though. Hopefully tonight you will
