Male Rabbit Bonding Day 4

Marble in the back and CC towards the front.

Background:
My two male Lionheads, both brothers, who I am trying to bond. They are both fixed, and have been for over a month now. The only time they were separated was at 3 months when both a friend of mine bought Marble, and I received CC. But a month later, I was asked to take in Marble, and the boys were reunited. Now at about 7 months, I am bonding them.

Bonding:
This is the fourth day of bonding them without any barriers. They have been doing well, and only fighting because of one problem: neither will give in to groom the other. Marble will groom CC occasionally but CC will never return the favor, resulting in a small squabble. Today, after two fights and separations for ten minutes each, they finally gave in and just flopped down together, ending the session on a good note.

Note: In none of the fights was either rabbit harmed or had fur pulled. They were separated carefully with a towel, and occasional squirts of water to break them up.

Sorry it's me again. i just read your story of your bunnies. I understand now. i am having a fun and challenging time trying to bond my new male 10 week old rabbit to the 2 existing rabbits, one male one female both fixed (if that means castrated). For the time being the new bunny called Truffle is my little house bunnie. He does got out everyday and graze in the garden. it's a bit of a hassle juggling 3 rabbits but i love em any way.

i don't understand this video. it looks to me that the 2 bunnies are brother's, and if that is so then they will have been bonded since birth. ?? As far as i am aware bunny bonding is the meeting and greeting one one new bunny to another. It's a kind of courtship/relationship between bunnies. Any way the bunnies are lovely, what breed are they?? One of my bunnies is a cross between a lop and a lion head, she looks similar to yours but mostly white. like the lop, but with fluffy bits.
