Hello, could anyone help me - a fox got in our garden this morning. I had 2 bonded males, 3 yrs inseparable. One died of shock this morning after fox got in (there's not a mark on him) The other is limping and basically in shock. I took him straight to vets who checked and said there were no broken bones and he is just bruised . I have returned him to his hutch alone, but I have heard they are supposed to grieve for their pair by putting body in hutch - is this true? And is it sensible when he is so freaked out? He is sitting in a corner not moving much but nibbling hay, broccoli and the odd pellet. He drank water when he held it up to him. He had a pain killing injection at the vets so I guess he is a bit sleepy too. I need to know what to do really quick as I really have to bury Basil before my son gets home from school - there are going to be many tears
