Young Bun
Hi everyone, as per the title, I lost my lovely boy Oscar on Friday. He was almost 10 years old and had been with his wife bun Roxy for 9 years. One of the worst parts of it all for me is seeing Roxy on her own. She seems fine in herself at the minute, she's eating well and hopping about but I hate the thought of her being alone when I'm not with her. She's an indoor bun but I cant be with her 24/7. She's almost 10 years old and other than a touch of arthritis, is in pretty good shape for her age....if she was younger or if I had a guarantee she would live another 2 or 3 year, I wouldn't hesitate to adopt another husbun for her but part of me wonders whether it is worth it given her age and the stress involved in bonding and also how unfair it would be for the new bun to have an older partner who being realistic, probably doesn't have years ahead of them. I'm sure there are many on this forum that have been in this position many times and just wondered if there was any advice on how to help a bereaved bun....
