Bonding a group of 5!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've not been posting much but wanted to share my news that I'm attempting to bond all five of my rabbits, yes five!!

I currently have a pair (Primrose and Bertie) and a trio (Robin, Ruby and Scarlett). Ideally I'd like them all together because trying to keep the two groups separate is proving difficult. If they're all together they'll have much more space and it would be better for them all. Before I got Scarlett and Ruby, I'd attempted to bond Robin with Primrose and Bertie but it didn't work out, the boys hated each other. I'm thinking it was likely because they were fighting over the one girl. Now that the dynamic is different and there are 3 girls I'm hoping it will work. Please wish us luck!!

I took them out for a ten min drive together to get them used to each other and now they're in a cage in the bathroom. I feel so mean keeping them confined but I know it's better for them in the long run. A few nips here and there but nothing bad as of yet. Eeek I'm so nervous! Also I'm keeping the bathroom very cold as to not upset them with temperature changes. I've booked a week off work for this so praying it all goes well!

I'll keep you posted!
