I don’t know if it’s possible but I think my bunny is going through serious depression. We had three bunnies but over the last 2 years, lost 2 (toki and elmo). So for the first time in 6 years, Pumpkin is by herself.
She’s eating fine and pooping fine. But doesn’t play with her toys at all. She normally terrorizes any willow toys and even plays fetch. But no reaction to any toys at all. For whaever reason, she keeps getting poop stuck to her butt and it becomes matted on her. I’ve given her a butt bath twice within the week.
Other than losing her friends, nothing environmental has changed. She gets timothy hay (along with other varieties as treats) and Oxbox pelletes followed by veggies salad dinner. She was always a very outgoing bunny. Very interactive with humans and even makes noises (talking) at me. She’s keeping to herself and totally different.
I have experienced when animals follow the dead friend. I’m afraid to lose her too. We thought about getting another bunny her Pumpkin but our lives have changed recently and cannot add another animal. What can I do to cheer her up?
