awww 
looks like they all are getting on just fine

They've been in it about 2 minutes :lol: Just you wait! You didn't see the area they had been bonding in at the Centre. :lol:
I love to see rabbits in bigger groups... These seem to be taking it all in there stride
I know, bunnies are lovely in groups. These are doing incredibly well. As soon as Treacle gets over being anxious, then everything should be fine, as long as no humpy humpys from Clover.
So, who do we have here?
Well, this is Clover. She is the one I'm trying to bond into the group. She has been losing weight and is pining desperately for company. Her family say that her spark returned when she met these guys which is awesome. I love, love, LOVE Clover, a lot, and its great having her back here (even if sad circumstances did bring her here).
This is Treacle (soon to be called Thistle? maybe?). She is an anxious bunny and shows it with being hostile. She is doing ok with Clover though, but there have been a few 'moments'. But equally, more moments where they have been good together. Treacle has groomed Clover too. What interests me about Clover and Treacle is that, is you remove the marking, they look VERY similar to each other. They arrived at the Centre at a similar time (although through different means) and I just can't help but wonder if they came from the same person and are potentially related.
This is Blakey (soon maybe to be called Honey?). He is a VERY cheeky chappy and very friendly to both rabbits and people. Currently he is all snuggled up with Clover. He's done a fair bit of grooming with her.
This is Allsorts (maybe soon to be called Dunlop- if I get my way :lol: Althouh I suspect her new family will call her something natural, despite Dunlop being their tongue in cheek idea). Allsorts seems to be the smarter one of the group, but also more reserved. She also seems to have bene HUGE at some point because she has fat sags behind her front legs, and a saggy dewlap and a huge spare type around her bum, just above her tail (I'll take a pic later, its awesome).
And here are a couple of random pics.

Aww I might be coming to you for advice soon!
We've had a few scuffles recently. All between Clover and Dunlop, and all triggered by something (not a dominance battle). Like, I had to give Clover some Metacam and gave it on some parsley and fatso Dunlop decided she wanted in on that. Its all sorted now and they are snuggled together again.
I'm hoping that the Metacam will encourage Clover to eat some hay because she's eating very little hay right now.
Clover seems to have teemed up with Blakey a lot which is nice, and he seems to seek her out.

It's a lovely looking group - almost looks like you posed them for the last set of photos :lol:
We started at the Centre today, and then moved to mine. They have been together since Midday.
I'm a bit concerned about Clover because of her lack of eating. I'm considering separating them overnight. It will give me a chance to feed her up some, monitor her poos and work out where she is. Since I saw her a week ago she has got super skinny and since being here has eaten two strands of hay until she had some Metacam, when she promptly tucked right in.
I'm also flat out on my feet and worried about myself with lack of sleep and how I will cope because I have spent the last few hours on total alert, which you would expect, but I'm not sure I can do that overnight.
My intention would be divide this area in two, and then swap them tomorrow morning, but also, I have to drop of two buns at the vets tomorrow so they can all come on a car journey.
I feel really guilty doing it, even though there are good reasons for Clover, but I can't not sleep. Life is hard enough with sleep, let alone without it.
