Had a shock this morning went to feed my rabbits and my mini lop bailey had died I am devastated they are under a year old my problem is Chester is a large bunny and dosent seem to like other bunnies I tried to add a female to the a few times and it never worked ( they went to rescues to be bonded) I don't want him to be lonely him and bailey adored each other

Hi Sarah, are there any indications of why your rabbit died? I think that needs to be investigated incase it was contagious before you look into introducing another rabbit. Sorry for your loss x

Hi no no indication he has always been a thin sickly looking rabbit I got him from a rescue my other rabbit seems fine he was eating drinking and pooping fine i have already buried him didn't think to take his body to the vets

Was he vaccinated? I'm no vet but VHD is a silent killer and is contagious.

Yeah they are both vaccinated And nuterd

I'm afraid I've drawn a blank then, I'd recommend you let Chester have some alone time over Christmas then see if you can find a new bunny friend in the new year. Many rescues will bond the rabbits for you so they can help find Chester a compatible friend. If Chester can be picky with who he bonds with I'd recommend doing this over rushing out to buy a new rabbit who you may well have to house separately if it doesn't work out.

Deffo not going to buy one want to rescue one I will try again with bonding him after new year so worried he's going to be lonely

sorry to read about your rabbit. RIP Bailey.

Sorry to hear about Bailey.
Binky free in Rainbow Bridge little one.
