Hiya everyone...
Unfortunately this morning one of my rabbits (smudge) passed away... He seemed fine when fed in the morning, an hour later he was extremely ill suddenly, we were leaving for the emergency vets when he stopped breathing in my arms...
We arent sure why he died yet but it was very sudden. He is currently at home in a box and will be cremated very soon. My question is what should i do about his companion tinkerbelle?
She wasnt there when he died, and i didnt really know you're meant to leave together for a long time when one dies... So he was in with her for around five minutes and then we brought him back out. But now its nearly 10pm, and i brought her inside because its ridiculously cold outside and i didnt want her to be out in the freezing cold by herself.
Should i put smudge in her hutch/run tomorrow? Or is that too late? I want her to understand that he's gone but i dont know if i've messed up and am too late now
Also should i get her a new companion? i think they have been together pretty much their whole lives and they are about 5. When should i do this and how do i go about it? x
Thanks for any help
