Sadly my lovely friendly gorgeous Newt died this morning. She had been losing weight and I did wonder last night if it would be her last - you can just tell sometimes. I am sad but as a practical bunny Mum, my main concern is her partner. She was very closely bonded to a female Rex cross who is now on her own. I have 10 bunnies altogether now and although I love them all, I am wondering if I should continue the cycle I am in which is 'always rebond instantly as I hate them to be alone' and bring the number back up to 11 or leave her on her own. The main reasons are that I have no idea how old she is or her history and would worry that she would pass away on her new partner fairly soon... I know that probably sounds stupid. Also, I ideally wanted to get out of the cycle. the only way to do this would be to try and bond her into a trio but then I worry about breaking bonds and it turning into a big mess! Also I would be unable to do the bonding myself as I am a wuss so goodness knows how I would go about that (and impossible to find a neutral space). So, RUers, what do I do? My heart says send her to honeybunnies to find a husbun thereby helping another bun but my head is saying that I really should try and stop the cycle. Head or heart?
RIP Newt my little baby. I have just edited this because I ended up sobbing uncontrolably at feeding time - I think it suddenly sunk in that I am never going to see her punky head ever again.
