Bonding

My sister recently got a beautiful chocolate butterfly french lop to add to her 'collection.' He will be getting used to breed when her chocolate french lop doe is ready to breed, therefore he has remained un-neutered.

She also owns two of the sweetest mini lop brothers, which have been neutered.

When she introduced 'Barney' the french lop to the minilops, he attacked them both and scared them half to death, yet he is brilliant around the girl and shows no agression whatsoever. The girl lives with the two minilops as it is.

Are there any suggestions as to how to help them bond, without risking the little two getting hurt?
Is Barney just trying to show his dominance as he is the bigger of the boys, could he be jealous that the boys live with the girl?

Ive suggested the 'bumpy car journey with the boys sharing a cage.' but my sister laughed it off...

Even when Barney is out and around the garden, he goes upto the boys hutch and scratches manicly at the chicken wire to get to the other two.

He is a bit of a bully beef to be honest

Re: Bonding

I wouldn't try bonding again unless Barney is neutered.
