We recently lost our male bunny to GI Stasis.  We took him to the vet immediately and after three days of trying to bring him back, he passed away.  We brought him home and the female rabbit and our dog and cat each took turns paying their respects in their own way in the morning.  In the afternoon we buried him in the backyard where they eat grass and play. 

While we were outside, about an hour after the burial, the female rabbit began binkying and darting around the grave area, and did this for about five minutes.  She does not normally binky more than a couple of times and that’s when she’s really excited about something, so this was definitely unusual and it took place around the grave area and not anywhere else.  We also remembered that she did this years ago with her first bonded mate and it was also for several minutes and very odd behavior for her

We think it’s a positive part of the grieving process but I’ve not seen much of it online in regular google searches.  We were just curious if anyone has seen this kind of behavior after the death of a bonded rabbit, or if anyone knows if it’s something to worry about or just part of her process of moving on.  Thanks.
