Mom + dad + baby living together

[Etoile]

You can read my story on the intro section. :wave:

To keep it short, I have adopted 2 rabbits, were supposed to be 2 males, but were one male and one female... The female was allready pregnant when I took them in and she gave birth to an only kit, 3 weeks later. By that time, I had the male neutered. They are now living together while free roaming during the day in a large room, but the male have his own cage for night and mom and baby have their own too.

I would like to keep the baby (cant imagine to part from him!!) and to have them all live in a large rabbit condo together.

Mom will be spay as soon as she stop nursing.

Baby will be spay too as soon as we know if he's a boy or a girl and as soon as he's old enough.

I read everywhere over the web that it is barely impossible to have 3 rabbits live happily together... Right now, they are very happy and sweet and close. A true family. It's difficult to believe that it will become totally different when baby Etoile will grow older.

Do you believe my plan is realistic? what should I do to help them keep bonded and close together?

It's perfectly possible to have a group of three - especially if they're a family group AND all neutered. I'd just make sure you get Mum spayed before the baby reaches maturity, just in case it's a boy and then get the baby neutered before its hormones kick in. In the mean time, I would probably keep them all together as a family unit if they're all getting on OK.

i don't see why they can't stay together as long as they are all spayed, they are all ready a 3 some. bless.

I believe it's realistic, however I also think there may come a time where they do need to be separated in some respect prior to mum and baby being spayed/neutered but nothing to stop you having a go at rebonding.
