im so sorry..and its awful watching for signs your bun is grieving harder than you think.
Berties been widowed before w ehad him and he he took his bond break up as best he could with bif.....but when his huge huge wifey willow died end of oct in our lounge hed obviously been with ehr when she was dying and was hiding from her body..wouldnt go near it. we took her body to vets and he was very wihdrawn..then we thoguth he was coping ok and within a few days he was very ill indeed. he ddnt get over it..he tried to get near bif and bandit and every now and then theyd wash hime tc and make a fuss then attack him.
It wasnt until bandit and bif rushed off to the vets with bandit dying that the dynamics changed totally. Bif was heartbroken and within a few days theyd rebonded themselves without anyhelp..they were untied in grief..and still are..its only been a few weeks since bandit died and they rely on each other soooo much..much much more than when they used to be a couple together.
all you can do is provide their normal stuff..hay food water etc..but also keep a check on form a distance and also offer the odd noserub..or clean them out with them allover you..sometimes just another warm body to get close too provides comfort.
Bif was hospitlaised overnight friday and bertie thought shed died..he came back a broken rabbit and headed for his dog bed and the big cuddly toy bunny of his..he threw this aside once she cane home.....
so maybe a big cuddly toy in case a snuggle is needed..they dont always use it right away.
bif isnt a people bunny either but when bandit was ps she was very accepting of nose rubs etc...and even sat by my feet whilst i was tlaking ot her for about 15 mins one night.
do you have any other pets? its just that each time weve lost a bun..willow and bandit..the two cats grieve and they go to comfort the other buns.
when bif stayed overnite..the cats were as lost as bertie abd they slept either side of him..sat near him..washed his ears etc.....to comfort each other.
when she came back they mobbed her
its odd but buns and other pets can form a tight bond and help the others grieve...and some buns will freak a bit then rely on human contact....like bertie did after willow. we had to take it in turn staying with him and sleeping with him on the sofa. ever since him n bif have been together he doesnt need snuggles on the sofa every day all hours day and night.
but if he lost bif..he showed us hed rely on us and the cats again.
take youre time as youre grief can even make them feel worse..i was such a state over bandit and so guilty feeling that i upset bif..my daughter banned me from the lounge for 24hrs
my heart goes out to you..xx
