Can i please pick your brains i'm abit worried about honey we lost harley on the 14th september and honey is not happy she is hardly eating anything nibbling on hay and pellets she will eat veg and she will eat a bit of porridge but she has lost so much weight she has been to the vets and they can't find anything wrong so we have put it down to her still grieving for harley. I have got a new friend for her harry but he needs to be neautered so can't go in with honey yet as she isn't spayed yet when i put harry in the run honey spends all her time lying next to harry against the run and she seems happier but your looking at 2 months before they can go together.

Is there anything i can give honey to bulk her up abit she is looking so thin and i'm worried as it's starting to get rather cold now aswell

thanks
 
You could get her spayed (so long as the vet thinks she is fit) and she would be OK once recovered to go with him - maybe about 3/4 weeks after spay (someone may be able to advise better than me). Spaying has health benefits too.

You could try putting a cuddly toy in with her for now as company until Harry can go in with her.

With regards to eating, just buy a selection of food to tempt her as best you can. Are they in a cage next to each other all the time?
 
she was due to be spayed but she has lost o much weight now to be done she needs to put weight back on. She has a cuddley toy. there not next to each other as honey is a out door bun and harry is a indoor bun and i have no room or cage to bring her in plus she hate being in the house

If she is really loosing lots of weight I would bring her in anyway. Have one on a huge dog crate and the other running free.

I was just about to say something similar. She may prefer to be inside if there is another bunny in there for company (and you of course).
