We currently have 5 rabbits, 4 are in a group and the remaining rabbit we (if possible) would like to integrate him to the group.
The existing group is 2 spayed older females, 1 young neutered male and an older alpha male (Milo) that was neutered late, he is quite aggressive at times.
The other rabbit is a rescued wild buck/intact male (Willow) who is about 3 years old, we had him since he was just weaned and he hasn't had much socialization, he isn't able to be released because he has a missing eye which needs ongoing treatment. We could consider neutering him if it would really help that much. I'm not sure if he's too old, or he's only dominant from his hormones, or that's just his personality in general.
He gets along fine with all the rabbits except Milo. When I put him in there they immediately started fighting, it was not too violent until Milo decided to latch onto him and they fell on the ground in a kicking fit, I had to separate them immediately, they would've killed each other.
Willow is stuck in a hutch with not the most interesting life, if he was to be able to be with the group of others in their massive runs he'd be much happier.
If there is any way I can make this work I'd like to, if anyone has any advice it'd be much appreciated.
