I would be very interested to know what people think of a potential trio?
We adopted two rescue buns who were already bonded together earlier this year (they were bonded in Decemeber, we brought them home in February). Peabody (female) is clearly the boss of Emerson (male). They have both mellowed a lot since moving in with us (they are free-range house bunnies) and get along together very well with only occassional tifts (usually Peabody being greedy).
I saw today that a bunny we originally went to see when we were looking to adopt is back at the rescue centre! (See Flapjack here.) We had wanted to reserve him after visiting, but were sadly told that he had been reserved by another family (it just wansn't updated on their records so they introduced us to him as a possibility). We resigned ourselves to letting him go (we didn't really have a choice, ha) so long as he'd be happy! Now, it seems that it may not have worked out and he is looking for a new home. It seems he never left my heart, as it's bleeding for the poor wee thing!
What are the logistics of bonding a trio. Do they fail more times than not? Is it too soon to consider it even? Is our set-up fit for purpose? Would a successful trio depend on why his last family/house didn't work out?
I'd really love to hear peoples' experiences and thoughts/comments/suggestions. My darling other will probably veto the idea straight away, but just in case it floats! Thanks.
