Lost my lovely Charlie few months ago, since then Lola (who has never been particularly friendly with us) has been quite withdrawn. Never comes out of her room (indoor bunny) and has started pulling her fur out on her back. She has plenty of toys etc. and I do change them round to give her a change but I think she is maybe missing Charlie. She has taken to peeing everywhere too - not just in her poo tray! Do they ever get over the loss?

So sorry for your loss..
Poor Lola.. she must be really missing him.
"One" of the causes of pulling fur out is stress..
I know its hard as you will obviously be missing Charlie.. but have you thought about getting Lola a friend... this may help her over her grief..
and give her something else to think about..
