Oh wise RU, I need your help in understanding whether we should aim for a trio again or a quad.
We have two wonderful rescue bonded girls, Illy and Chinook, who are sisters that we've had since they were a couple of months old. They were bonded with Elmo successfully, and they lived as a very loved up trio for the next 5 years until we sadly lost Elmo last year
The girls are still very happy, but we've noticed some increased chasing and dominant behaviour, which we think Elmo helped neutralise before. (He had the cutest habit of squeezing himself in between them both for snuggles )
We feel ready to welcome a new bun into our lives, and we feel a male would make sense judging by other's experiences on the forum of compatibility.
So RU, I've been looking at rescues near us (Rabbit Residence and Santa are probably closest) and there are many more pairs available than single males. Do you think introducing a pair to my girls would work, or would a single male be better? I don't want to disrupt their bond and I want to do what's best for them.
We'd be looking for a bun/buns of a similar age to the girls, who are around 5.5 years old.
