It usually takes a bit of time to bond rabbits together, especially if they aren't spayed or neutered. Rabbits are territorial and don't like to share their space with other rabbits. It doesn't really matter if it's same sex or opposite sex. There are things you can do to try to get them bonded, including my favorite, putting them in one pet carrier together and taking them on a car ride. They often will turn to each other to share the fear, you might say, and start to bond. Here is a webpage that has all sorts of ideas on how to bond rabbits: http://www.indianahrs.org/care-introducing-rabbits.aspx

A girl's gotta protect her territory! If your doe is not fixed she is going to have some serious issues with this threesome. Unfixed rabbits are very territorial of their space and introducing a new rabbit that is the same sex it is not going to be a good idea. You CAN try to introduce them all in an unknown space like a place in the house they have never been before, your male and the new female will have a chance to become friends but ur other female is going to have issues and not be happy about the new member. Unless you fix her. Fixing your bunchkins takes away all that territorial hormones. Good luck and I hope this helps somewhat!
