as some of you may know i have 6 bonded rabbits and i want to bond in to them the last two brothers, problem is i am wondering when to do it?, as the bonded group have only been lovingly bonded for 3 weeks, plus when they were small one of the brothers that i want to bond in had a fight with one of the brothers that are allready in the big group (hope u know what i mean) it was my own thought because i separated them for a couple of hours to take one to the vets :roll:

do you think it is a good idea or wait longer?

do you think they will remember? i heard once that if a rabbits has a big fight they will never be able to be bonded back? what do you think?

If you try wait a rew months. My Willie and his brother bear got into a viscous fight (boxing, circling , biting, and ending in a clench) when they were 7 weeks old. They have been seperated for about 8 months but it hasn't helped. I took bear into my room to have a run and when Willie saw him he tried everything he could to get out of the cage and attack bear. For a few hours he was then very aggressive to my girls. I know how frustrated you must be but I wouldn't recomend trying to bond them in now!
