How to bond a third rabbit with two already bonded free-roam bunnies?

Question

I have two Holland lops (male and female) who are both fixed. I rescued the male about 6 months ago and the two lops have been bonded and inseparable ever since. Yesterday I adopted a third rabbit named Abel who is a male and is fixed. How do I bond all three of them together? Is there a better way of introducing them and having them all get along? The two lops are free roam so I have Abel in a cage for now. I eventually want all three to be free roam together. What can I do to avoid aggression?

A gradual introduction would be recommended. Keep Abel caged but allow the others to see, smell and hear him. Do this for ever increasing periods of time. Once they have accepted him, try very short physical introductions. Increase the time as they acclimate. Separate them at the start of any aggression. Be patient and be consistent.
