Advice please - rabbit mourning loss of mate?

My sister in-laws bunny lost her mate (winky) a couple months ago to E.Cunicul - the remaining bunny (fudge) is ok and the vet has confirmed she has not been effected by the disease. However since winky died fudge has not been herself, she used to be a really friendly happy rabbit but now she is shy and looks sad, she is definitely not her "normal" self. I am worried for fudge because one of my rabbits "gave up" and died shortly after her mate died. They have another bunny - Treacle, who is in the run next to her but they cannot be put together as they fight! Is there anything any of you can suggest that can help fudge's mourning? It's really sad to see her like this and she's not even my bunny!! Thank you :(
 
Some rabbits seem to suffer more than others, I have a cuddly toy i put in for them to snuggle and groom whilst they are morning. I do tend to get the another bunny budy when i feel the time is right though .
 
Awww, that's a real shame. I'm in the same situation with my boy since he lost his brother. Are Fudge and Treacle both neutered?
