What is the best way to do this? All of the bunnies are spayed/neutered. The original bunnies are male and female lop mix. The 3rd bunny is a white female spayed New Zealand mix.
How do I introduce her? The other 2 bunnies have a bunny room where they hop freely. Should I introduce the 3rd bunny slowly to each rabbit? The other female is very shy, the male is not. None seem aggressive.
Please leave suggestions.
The key is supervision. I would introduce the bunnies as a group since the they will need to establish the order of dominance hierarchy. The large \"Bunny Room\" is a good idea because it allows room for the newcomer to get out of the other rabbits\' immediate space, if necessary.
You may be fortunate and everyone will get along right away, but don\'t be surprised if you witness some aggression. Rabbits are territorial. The introduction process may take some time.
Good luck.

It took Midnight a few weeks to accept the bunnies. They share a play area and we supervised for a long time. We started by putting their cage wth them in it in the play area for Midnight to check out. She would go sniff them, then go play, then come back. Then we did the opposite - Midnight in the cage while the bunnies were out. After a week of this we tried letting them out together with us in the play area. Now they all get along very well and know that Midnight is the boss.
