Hi all, first time post here in the community. My girlfriend and I had 2 rabbits, Dan and Bella, however last month Dan passed away unexpectedly leaving Bella as a solo rabbit. Unfortunately this is the second time Bella had been left alone after the loss of a partner. Her first bonded mate Leany was lost to cancer. After Leany passed, Bella became extremely depressed, refusing to come out from under the bed, being mostly inactive and visibly sad. After she was bonded with Dan, she returned to her old self. She has always been a submissive rabbit, and Dan was very dominant, frequently requesting grooming, and sometimes being a bit of a bully about food. She was always very timid, and much more fearful and less social then Dan. They were also opposites in regards to cleanliness, Bella being a neat freak, and Dan being a bit of a pig. 

What we noticed lately after Dan passed away is that shes become a different rabbit! Shes not depressed, and is the opposite, becoming very outgoing, jumping up on the couch or into bed, stealing snacks if we elave them out, something she would have never have done before, and she seems generally happy. Our dilemma is now do we get another rabbit? We would love the opportunity to rescue another rabbit from the shelter, however were worried she would become timid and withdrawn again. While she never seemed unhappy with Dan, sometimes it seemed as she was frustrated but his requests to be groomed, food aggression adn his messiness. They were great cuddlers, and we would hate for her to be lonely, but she generally seems happy living the single life. 

Has anyone ever run into a situation like this before? Thanks for the help and insight!.
