My boy bun seemed fine for about a week after our girl bun passed away (around a fortnight ago) but for the last few days he's stopped coming out of his indoor cage and is lunging at me and nipping/scratching me every time I try and feed him or get him out.
He does have a history of biting the hand that feeds him but not usually this badly and he has backed himself into the corner of his cage and won't come out.
I'm not 100% sure of what to do with him to be honest, his door is open so he can come out when he wants but he doesn't want to. He hates cuddles, he won't be held only stroked so we are giving him as much attention as he will allow but at the moment that is minimal.
Is this possibly grief related?
