        My rabbit Penelope just lost her bonded partner of 9 years (she’s 10 and he was 13 years old). She went with us to the vet and spent time with his body, but she’s very lonely. I plan to bond her again soon to help her move on from her grief.

         

        Since his passing, she’s been making a soft grunty-sniff noise (like a soft combo between angry honking and sniffles) that started the same day. She also ate less for a few days but kept drinking and pooping normally. Lately she’s been seeking more human affection, which is unusual for her. She ignores the stuffy that smells like him, and I haven’t cleaned her cage yet. The vet is closed until Tuesday, so I’m hoping to learn more then, as this is my first time with bonded rabbits. Her mate was very devoted to me and very important to me, so even though Penelope and I aren’t as close, I want to do everything I can to support her.
