Hi everyone .... I lost my gorgeous little boy today ...... Over the past month we have had ups and downs but today he deteriorated bad .... We sent him emergency vets by unfortunately hi had a seizure and passed away xxxxx I did everything I could this past month for him and would do it all again xxxx

He had a bonded pair daisy and I'm worried about her now :( does anyone have any advice for a rabbit who has lost their partner ?

Thank you xxxxxxx
 
binky free little man :( i would get her a new partner at some point in the near future. sorry for your loss xx
 
:cry: I'm so very sorry. Binky free Dillon

I haven't been in this situation myself before, but my advice would be to at some point look for a partner for Daisy, you could try at nearby rescues to see if they have any suitable bunnies, they may bond them for you. In the meantime I'm sure she will be getting lots of attention from you and you could try giving her a soft toy to snuggle and groom so long as she doesn't chew it xx
 
thank you i miss him so much but he had an amazing 6 and a half years and was never ill up untill this last month - why is it so sudden in bunnies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thank you shes a brave girl and is very adventerous there outside bunnies but weve brought her inside to make sure shes not alone

god i cant stop drying :( xxxxxxxxxx
 
I'm so sorry you lost your bunny :cry:.

I've had experience of bereaved bunnies and I usually keep a close watch on them, give them something to snuggle with, as has been mentioned above, and then start to look for a partner. Bunnies who've been in a partnership are usually quiet when they lose their other half and may have a decreased appetite :(. I don't normally leave it more than a couple of weeks before trawling through all the rescue pages for a new partner, but every bunny is different so you have to make a judgement call on that one.
 
aawww so sorry Kelly.. he is now binkying free with my Daisy:( I hope your Daisy is ok.. i am looking to get my Dylan a friend as he looks so lonely

One rabbit is less interested in bonding than the other?
