It's my own fault. I came back from uni yesterday and had them free roaming in the garden. I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up it was 10pm I ran out and I heard this awful screaming and I saw something run across the back of the garden. I was frantically searching everywhere for them, but I couldn't find either of them. My dad ended up finding Monty behind the shed bleeding, he was breathing really shallowly. The next thing I know he was just gone! I searched everywhere for Bailey, but I couldnt find her. I thought she had been carried off by a fox, and that it came back for Monty and I scared it away. I had a dream last night that Bailey was hiding underneath the shed, and so when I woke up this morning I ran out to check, and I couldn't believe it but she came right out from under there when I moved the bricks from in front! It was crazy, I didn't expect her to be under there I just had to check. She must have run and hidden under there. She wasn't hurt or anything thankfully, and I am so shocked and absolutely thrilled that she is ok! But my poor monty.. I think he must have been trying to protect her, because he does that whenever he sees a bird or something, he sticks by bailey
So now my poor boy is gone, because I was irresponsible and fell asleep because I was overly tired. But that is no excuse, I should have looked after them.
Bailey has never ever lived alone in her life. She had her mum first, then straight in with monty. They were best friends and loved eachother so much My poor bailey is looking for him, she doesn't know he's not coming back I can't keep her. I need to find her a new home with a new male bun, if she stays with me, she'll just go like monty did. Its not safe for her here, and so it would be even worse for me to bring a new companion for her to live here I cant even bring her in the house even for the night (thats a long story)She's going to be in the shed all alone tonight, she's going to be so scared my poor baby cry: I called up a few places, but they said they have a waiting list, the shortest being 3 months Thats too long. The foxes know where she is now i'm sure, and I can't bring in another rabbit for them to both be ripped to shreds I'm never going to have any buns, or other pets again, it's not fair on them. I gave them everything, they were so spoilt and loved, but I couldn't do the simple task of keeping them safe. I dont know how long my poor boy had suffered
I feel so stupid! I just read that you should keep the body in with the other bunny for a few hours in order for them to understand that their friend has died, and that helps them to cope. We buried Monty straight away, I didn't read on what to do or anything before burying him I read that she may be grieving for months now, and just expecting him to come back because she doesnt know that he is dead because she did not see the body! She is in her shed right now with a blanket and a hot water bottle. I cant bare to see her like this.
