Will do

Im now getting worried that Im not going to be able to rebond them all together again!
This isnt at all an issue to me but im worried they may get lonely! Im pretty sure at least two will go back together not sure the male who is starting all the fighting will allow the other male to rejoin!
Is this going to be a likely problem! And will The other rabbit get lonely?

It's hard to tell unless you try I'm afraid! Rabbits do best with a companion, but atm I have a single as I have mentioned. Would you be able to keep him inside? Therefore he'd get more company from you and provide him with lots of stimulation to keep him busy

I know they are better with others which is why my fingers are tightly crossed that the one who is being aggressive will calm back down again!
They are all inside atm however before this problem started we were going to buy a shed for them to live in outside! When they all got split up it has delayed this process as we are not prepared for all three to move into single hutches! I also dont want to buy another two hutches until im definitely sure they cant go back together!
Now they are all inside they are taking up alot of room!
Ideally though they would all stay inside but this would mean all in the same hutch and i dont know how likely this is looking!
I dont want him to be on his own, but i also believe that i could bond any of the two boys back with the girl! (dont know which one to bond back if i have to choose!)
This is a situation i was so unprepared for and its so difficult!
Thanks for your continued support x

Just an update:
Both boys are now home from their op which they had last night! Both seem okay!
They got brought home in the same carrier which i thought was weird but now are seperated again!
I know it takes 4ish weeks for their hormones to calm down again so gunna wait for that and hopefully figure out whether the female is pregnant!
Thanks everyone for your help!

I know the fourish weeks have not been completed and the hormones will see be flying!
But when i let the male who got split from the other two run next to the cage of the other one he tried to bite through the cage at the other one!
Is this a sign of them not being able to go back together!?
Im also not sure whether if i cant bond them all back together to get another one to go back with the one who the nasty male wants to bite?!
If only things went to plan.....

You can never really tell, but before my two were bonded they tried to bite through the bars, yet were fine when together in a neutral space.

That makes me feel so much happier! I may be alright then! Fingers Crossed,
I am in touch with a rescue just in case i cant bond all three back together, and can only do two!

That's a good idea

hope it all goes well for you though xx

It usually takes 6-8 weeks for hormones to die down, not just 4.

When my mum bonded her pair (a male and a female) they would try and bite each other through the grid keeping them apart but as soon as they were put together properly in a neutral room they were fine, love each other to bits.
