Sorry to ask a question such as this first thing on a Saturday morning.
Is it always necessary to show the body of a rabbit to it's bonded partner? Do people really think it makes a difference? (I know many suggest it should be done). Poppy has died at the vets this morning, Peter hasn't see her for two days and lives alongside Pixie (although it breaks my heart for Poppy I am sure they will bond quite happily, they already groom through the bars of their divider).
I'm wonding if it is really necessary to bring Poppy all the way home to show Peter (and maybe distress him), to take her all the way back for a cremation. I don't want to take him to the vets because he gets stressed in the car.
I will do it if it's really necessary, I just wonder if he really misses her right now, I can't imagine he is sitting wondering where she is but is more bothered about being alone
