very unhappy news

Would like some advice please. One of my bonded rabbits is being put to sleep this pm due to liver failure - I could cry so much. According to vet, I did all I could and so did they and its not contagious just a bad gene and unfortunate. I now will have a very unhappy boy ( they were so in love), when do people think I should try and find him a girl, soon, immediately or leave him for a bit. He does look sad though as she has been at the vets since Mon so he has been alone.

Any thoughts would be so much appreciated.

Thanks
 
Oh Hun!
I know exactly what you are feeling...a few weeks ago i had to have my special boy PTS, which left my other bunny alone.
I adopted another bunny for her within 2 weeks as i couldn't bear to see her so alone..she is so sociable. She took to the *new* bunny immediatley as i knew she would!
Unfortunatley, she has to go away for treatment as she is a very poorly bunny., so new bunny will be alone!
...hopefuly not for long though.

Wish you all the best...i really feel for you.
nose rubs to your bunnies....and a big hug to the poorly one
bums im crying now!

Im really sorry to hear your news :cry:

When Bobby lost Pippa to liver failure she went of her own accord in the night and we found him with her body in the morning. He knew she had gone but still searchd for her for the next 3 days.

I was originally planning to leave it a few weeks before repairing him but he looked so depressed so I intriduced him to Scout less than a fortnight later and it was love at first sight.

There does not seem to be a set tim for a rabbit to grieve, much like people, but when you are ready Im sure he will be.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your problem.

I think I'm now of the opinion that sooner is better. I introduced Inky to Smokey about 4 days after he lost Floss (they hadn't been together long but really loved eachother). It was complete love at first sight.
