Not very well, he is very subdued. He will come and sit with me for nose rubs but has not moved very far from their house. I am very worried as they were so close, they sat on each other and led next to each other - I rarely saw them apart. I think Dillon needs a companion but lost my confidence trying to bond Vimto. I would need somebun big enough to cope with Dilly but dont know what to do.
I do believe that animals (and humans) can make themselves poorly pining for a loved one.
OH did leave Cuthy where Dilly could touch him so that he knew he had gone but that does not help with the pining.
Thank you all for your kind comments - I havent stopped crying yet
I’m so sorry it is very painful I don’t know whereabouts you are but there are quite a few large rabbits in rescues at the moment, maybe a rescue could advise you and help with bonding? I can understand why you might have had a confidence knock when things didn’t work out with Vimto, but I’m sure it wasnt anything you did or didn’t do, just that the trio didn’t work, and trios are notoriously difficult anyway. For now, I would try to get through one day at a time, be kind to yourself. Can you give Dilly some different things to try to entertain him, such as forage, rabbit safe sticks, maybe a soft toy to snuggle?
Thinking of you and sending hugs and nose rubs to Dilly xx
