How do you cheer up after a pet has died?

Rabbits, just

like humans, handle the loss of a beloved companion in many ways.

Some are able to take the loss in stride, adjusting quickly, while

others need a period of mourning to work through the grief. I would

suggest you would best be able to help your female rabbit the same

way you should a human, simply by being there for her. Spend extra

attention, lavish her with affection, provide distractions, and -

most importantly - give her time to get used to the loss and return

to normal behaviour.

Some might

suggest getting her another companion right away but I think that

is something that should be reserved for further down the road,

should she still seem lonely. The sudden introduction of an

interloper so soon after the loss of her mate may prove too

stressful.
