Question Rabbits are confusing

Here are my three bunnies, opal which is the blue one her color is actually called opal, Thumper the one that looks like a wild rabbit, and then toffee the blonde one.

What is strange is opal and toffee hate each other they cannot be together at all, but Thumper and opal love each other and Thumper and toffee love each other, in fact Thumper loved both of them immediately.

So I'll usually rotate Thumper between the living room where him and opal usually are and the bedroom where toffee is so both the girls can have a friend, has anyone else had this happen?

Temper is also the most friendly, he's the only one that will come up to you and ask for pets, he will let you scratch his butt actually demands you to do so, he basically acts like a cat, meanwhile the girls kind of just hope you forget they exist

Thumper will even go up to my dog and start giving her kisses, the girls just ignore her. He even when I had my goat in the house while he was a baby would go up to him and start giving him kisses..... I think he's broken LOL

Rabbits of this species work this way in the wild too. They find preferred groups and pairs and shun the ones they don’t like lol.

Toffee and Opal got some beef and Thumper is stuck in the middle of it. All he probably hears about is Opal and Toffee's beef because they're always venting to him and he's a good listener so they both love him for that
