How do I introduce rabbits to a male neuteured rabbit who lives by himself...

[Nici Lou]

...and is tame? I have had my male rabbit for about a year and it has been neutered as it used to have a bad temperament but has now become tame, I have now got another 2 rabbits but I am unsure what sex they are. I would like to introduce all the rabbits to each other but I am afraid that the older male will not get on with the 2 little ones and I would hate it if introducing these rabbits would make my older rabbit become untamed. I would like these rabbits to get on as I don't believe in keeping animals by themselves in case they become lonely. Any help would be much appreciated. And also is there any way of getting help to pay for getting rabbits neutered or spayed as I do not want more rabbits in case the 2 that I have got are a male and female.

i suggest you leave them in a box for about 2 to 3 days.

Rabbits love to be with other ones, but it doesn't work to put two males together. Two females or a female and male spayed/neutered rabbits. For info on bonding them copy this url into the address box. http://www.qrabbit.com/bonding.html

Good Luck!!

if you ont no the sex i would keep them all seperatly untill u can be 100% sure. if u put another male in with urs they will fight, and the rabbit u have had for a year will be aggressive as another male will be in his territory, and rabbits actually prefer to live on their own, as they are very territorial animals. they prefer their own space. and like u mentioned before, u dont want any unplanned babies so i would seperate the 2 new ones untill u know the sex.

Same sex rabbits will nearly always fight even if neiutered so as you now have three rabbits you will at least have two of the same sex.

Makesure to find out what sex the other rabbits are so you one day dont have lots of baby rabbits

you should at least try them all togeter after a few days but when/if you do then maesure to keep a good eye on them to make sure they dont fight.Btw its not always true that males will fight my old rabbit really got along with another when ileft them together. some rabbits get along really well, i hope its the same for your rabbits ^^

your rabbit will stay tame if you still hold him often even with him living with other rabbits.
About introducing them, you need to put there cages side by side for at least a day. then let them all out at one in a room and if everything goes well then you can put them together. (checking on them all the time at first)
