Most rabbits prefer company, as they extremely social animals, however, admittedly, not everybun is possible to be bonded.

Signs of loneliness are many, but some obvious ones would be moping, lack of interest in surroundings, being quiet, being aggressive with surroundings.

Is Rupert a neutered boy?

Graham has mentioned most of the obvious signs. I have this as an on-going concerns about my boy, Spenser. There are logistical reasons why I haven't got him a friend yet, but Graham is absolutely right in saying most rabbits prefer company of their own kind.

Is Rupert better now? what did the vet say?

Some of the signs that could be taken as loneliness can also mean illness and feeling rough too, so do be aware of that as well.
