I'm thinking of bonding Timmy with Peggy and Tonic, any advice??

I know there is a section about trios but I was wondering if people could give me there own experiences x
 
I have always been lucky with trios, usually with introducing another male to a male/female pair, but it does depend on the buns. Be prepared for lots of sleepless nights though.

How did you go about it? x
 
Completely neutral area with loads of hay.

I sit in my porch with them to start with until I feel safe to leave them on their own - get funny looks from the postman :lol: I talk to them and noserub all of them in turn. I prefer never to separate them and have never had any major problems. You do have to be prepared for some scrapping though and that can be a bit frightening. You have to decide when to intervene and when to leave them to get on with it (experience I gained from having 3 human boys :shock:). If it gets too rough, I just move them apart and distract them with food or toys. I still sit behind the barrier for a long time afterwards though and have been known to sleep in the hall.

If things go well, I start to increase the area with a puppy pen very slowly. Once they seem okay, I wash everything and smother it in vinegar before introducing them back into the set up.

Good luck if you decide to go for it :thumb:
