Well...
Harry was settling in so well last night and seemed really interested in the girls (and them in him!) that I gave them all a go together in the "bonding cage", with me cross legged to intervene. There was some scrapping, quite a lot of stamping on Harry's side, but things went ok. Xena and Harry got on ok, not too much fighting (although it's a dominance thing, each trying to mount the other). He terrorised Binky with his mounting attempts, though, and I had to seperate them.
This morning I cuddled Kymber on the bed a bit, as he's more used to running around the house, and is a little mad at me that I can't let him right now (too many cages, etc), then I put him in the "bonding cage" with Binky, which went ok, and then with Xena, which went wonderfully. Xena groomed his head, which he sat still for, but I don't think he really gets what's going on. He's never seen other bunnies, I think, and when she was done, he chased her around again. Typical man's way of (not) saying thank you!!!!!
They're all in their own cages now, and I'll probably give it another go later today...
Just thought I'd keep y'all posted!!!!
