I can imagine the answer most people will give would be no, but I thought it'd be good to air my throughts anyway just to see what peoples views are, pro's and con's and all.
We have 2 pairs of rabbits. Blossom and Thumper are a male/female neutured/spayed pair who are both a year old. Skittles and Bella are (currently) an unspayed pair of girls at the age of 4 months and shall be booked in by the RSPCA soon for their spay.
We have the opertunity to adopt another rabbit. No sex has been decided upon yet and wont be until we're sure if we should continue to proceed or not. The new rabbit would be a young rabbit, most likely 8 weeks or older. Once our current rabbits are all fixed we'll be attempting to bond them over the colder months, but currently they live side by side.
We know we can afford another rabbit, but can not perminantly set up another run/hutch, only temporarily if needed. My partner and I have agreed to really give this situation much thought before we even view the potential adoptee, if we agree to try taking things further, we'll view the rabbits and see how we feel after. If we do plan on potentially adopting another then we'd be enclined to try bond him/her straight away in the young girls pen area to see if there is any agression. If agression is shown we know we'll agree not to adopt the rabbit. If they're ok we'll leave them as they are for a few days to see how they bond.
thats just one big hurdle, the next is to try getting him/her neutered/spayed before he/she gets too hormonal for the girls (less likely if it's a girl i'd imagine), then to try keep their bond strong, then try bonding all 5 together without any seperated bunnies. We are very well aware that Blossom our eldest girl is in charge, and Thumper follows closely behind.
