Have you read the sticky about trios? That might be a good place to start.

you can always get another bunny, but specially take notice of its behaviour before commiting to it to make sure its best suited to bond with your already bonded rabbits. If it doesnt work then you can try bonding the new bun with another new bun and have them outside as you mentioned.

My local rabbit rescue is great, try yours. you can take your bunnies there and try bonding with many different rabbits

You know your bunnies best and what they need as far as social behaviours go trust your instinct and trust your knowledge of your own rabbits and who they are. As long as you take it gradually at the bunnies pace, keep calm and relaxed yourself, all is possible. A trio just need plenty of room to get away from each other and they all need their own hidy spots, litter trays, bowls and bottles. And of course all to be spayed/neutered

European wild bunnies have some of the largest social networks going, theres no reason why three, four, five, six or twelve bunnies cant be happy living together as long as they all have plenty of space of their own and their own den.

If any rabbit is left out and you dont have time to feel the cap, try a foursome as you said

No I haven't, I will now. Tracy at ragpwelfare would help me bond them if I did decide to. I see you have lots of beautiful buns how is it? x

i have just bonded my three boys, they are brothers, all kept seperate but in the same shed, all neutered, i bonded two first in february then added the third at weekend. I was really dithering as all reports say three bucks would be your worst combination, but there were signs that it would be ok as the bonded pair weren't perturbed to see the other bro through the hutch mesh, and they took it in turns to use the shed as a run area, so had always seen each other. They are all very chilled out too. It went without a hitch and i am so happy with the result. My philosophy was that if it didn't work then i would still have space to home them seperately or get a girl to bond with the third boy. But very happily it has been the best outcome, now my problem is that the three of them can cause a mighty mess when they set their minds to it! lol!:roll:
