I tried to bond my gentle, sweet 7.5 year old petite little lop Oliver with a lovely rex about 2 months before he passed away. It started ok and Oliver was soo gently hoping over to her and she kept hoping away. All bonding done neutral territory, in a pen etc. Eventually she viciously attacked him but thankfully no injuries. We tried a few more times bur same thing. We had to give up and return her. My bonding of my 4 had never been vicious.
Oliver so wanted a friend and he had been in rabbit company all his life until Cody passed away 9 months before.
After the rex left Oliver keeping going into the neutral living room, I think waiting for her. It broke my heart seeing him like this ashubby and I had agreed after many many discussions we would get Oliver a friend and if it didn't work out then that would be it .
I feel so guilty that we could not get a friend for him, I told Oliver how sorry I was, cried into his fur telling him I loved him so much but I think he decided to leave us for the bridge as he could not bear to be alone (he was , free range house bun) . I keep seeing him on his own and all he wanted was a friend. I feel I was cruel. I tried but I couldn't cope with the stress of trying again and I feel terrible and overwhelming guilt for it. The only thing OIiver wanted was a friend and I failed him. He was such a good boy, no bother, so gentle. I just wish all my babies were here. I can't bear it.
Sorry , I just needed to post
