Sad to say that one of my bonded pair Charlie died yesterday, unfortunately their hutch cage came opened some how and Charlie came out but unfortunately our new puppy lab was out in the garden at the same time and he either scared her to death by trying to play or maybe to rough! However we're devastated and poor Thumper is now alone for the first time as we picked them together when we bought them nearly 2 years ago!
I dont believe Thumper realises that's Charlie is now gone as she was minding her own in the hutch at the time of the incident but today I've noticed she's missing her as her behaviour has changed being more to herself and searching around the garden and not wanting any attention from us!
I guess she realised Charlie is missing and wanting her..
Do people recommend I find a suitable partner for her as she's never been alone.
I'm looking to find one that's needing a rehome and around the same age.
She has been spayed so would it be worth getting a buck or stick to another female?
Should I try and get one ASAP to help her or wait off for x amount of time?
The hut is plenty big enough for two rabbits with two platforms for space and also I'm now purchasing a run to add to the hutch so I never have worry about the puppy and rabbit meeting without supervision again!
The door that came loose had now been fixed so that it can never happen again!
I have some serious training set for the puppy regards with the rabbits!!
I'm having a difficult feeling towards the pup now as you can imagine as we had the Charlie as our first pet and I brought them up and now got just got a pup as well and before I could start properly introducing them that happened in a short amount of time!
I can't resent he puppy as he had no idea and just went with instinct even though that easy to say! Just learn a very bad and sad lesson!
