Question
We already have two rabbits. One male who is 9 months old and one female who is 8 months old.  The male has been neutered, the female hasn't.  They live together happily!  They were introduced when the male was 3 months old.  They accepted one another immediately.  We have now fallen in love with an approx. 9/10 week old female bunny and would like to introduce her to our other rabbits.  We haven't yet bought her and would like your advice as to whether this will work.  We are prepared to work on the introduction as we do have a separate hutch.

Any advice would be of great help.

Answer
Hi Nicola,
         well i would be very careful when you introduce her.But what i will say,yes if you want her then go and buy her but it may or it might not work with your other rabbits.
Rabbits can also get jealous just like us.
So what i suggest you do is,when you introduce her dont leave her on her own cause the male rabbit my react differently with him being a male so never leave her with the male.
It could be different with the female but just stay with her just incase and see how things get on.I think the female will get on with her better than the male so i would advice you not put her with the male.If they both dont work out then you will just have to seperate her from the two.
Hope this helps and good luck from Natasha
